Gene information for DKK1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID22943
Official gene symbolDKK1
Full namedickkopf homolog 1 (Xenopus laevis)
Aliases,DKK-1,SK,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that is a member of the dickkopf family. It is a secreted protein with two cysteine rich regions and is involved in embryonic development through its inhibition of the WNT signaling pathway. Elevated levels of DKK1 in bone marrow plasma and peripheral blood is associated with the presence of osteolytic bone lesions in patients with multiple myeloma. [provided by RefSeq]
