Background
DKK-1is a 266-amino acid protein with an approximate molecular mass of 26-kDa, andit possesses six secondary structures, which are two alpha helices and fourβ-sheets. It has the colipase-like fold in C-terminal Cys domain, which likelyallows it to serve as an interactive surface. DKK-1 expression appears to bepreferential in some adult tissues including bone, placenta, prostate, spleen,and colon. DKK-1 has been shown to play an important role as a Wnt signalingpathway antagonist in several studies. DKK-1 is down-regulated in human colontumours; hence, it may act as a tumour suppressor. High DKK-1 expressionindicated favourable responses to chemotherapy in brain tumours whereas;over-expression of DKK-1 was found in human hepatoblastomas, Wilms’ tumours andmultiple myelomas. Moreover, since overexpression of DKK-1 in osteoblastscauses osteopenia, it is also regarded as a negative regulator of normal bonehomeostasis.
