    basic FUNCTION
  • DKK receptor, cooperating with DKK1 to block WNT, beta catenin signaling pathway
  • playing a role for in proper development of thymic epithelium
  • not universally required for DKK1 function
  • inducing exocytosis, cell cell interaction
  • functions as the gatekeeper of Wnt signalling in development and pathology )
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development , cell to cell transport , exocytosis transport , electron transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
  • component of a ternary complex with DKK1 and the lipoprotein related protein - (LRP6)
  • components of a membrane complex modulating canonical WNT signaling through LRP6
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to LRP6, KREMEN2
  • with KREMEN2, 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
  • DPP4, AGTR2, SLC4A1, KREMEN1, ASGR1, ANP, TMEM30A, CLEC4G, and LDLRAD3, along with ACE2 facilitate SARS-CoV-2. virus entry and transmission
