FAMILY

CATEGORY

receptor membrane

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	type I transmembrane protein

basic FUNCTION	DKK receptor, cooperating with DKK1 to block WNT, beta catenin signaling pathway
	inducing exocytosis, cell cell interaction
	not universally required for DKK1 function

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

development , cell to cell transport , exocytosis transport

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

signal transduction

a component

component of a ternary complex with DKK1 and the lipoprotein related protein - (LRP6)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binding to LRP6, KREMEN1
	with KREMEN1, identified to be the high-affinity receptors for Dickkopf (Dkk), the inhibitor of Wnt/beta-catenin signalling
	functional interaction of Kremen proteins with DKK1 as negative regulators of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling
