DKK-1, Dickkopf-related protein-1, is a member of the DKK protein family which includes DKK-1 through DDK-4. DKK was originally identified as a head-forming molecule in Xenopus. Mechanistic studies showed that DKK-1 inhibits the Wnt /β-catenin
signaling pathway by forming inhibitory complexes with co-receptor LRP5/6. Inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is essential for posterior patterning and anterior development in vertebrates, supported by the discovery that DKK-1 knock-out mice lack head formation.
When DKK-1 is fused to the Fc fragment of human IgG1. This fusion renders stability of the protein in vitro and in vivo without significant loss of activity. StemRD expresses DKK-1 Fc fusion in human 293 cells and purifies it by protein A column.
StemRD Inc. is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, we specialize in producing premier research reagents for the stem cell research community. Our mission is to empower stem cell R&D through innovative technologies. Our proprietary technology in protein expression and purification has allowed efficient production of several important factors, such as WNT, Hedgehog, TGF-ß family members and Differentiation Kits, that are difficult to obtain by conventional methods.
