Gene information for KREMEN2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID79412
Official gene symbolKREMEN2
Full namekringle containing transmembrane protein 2
Aliases,KRM2,MGC10791,MGC16709,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a high-affinity dickkopf homolog 1 (DKK1) transmembrane receptor that functionally cooperates with DKK1 to block wingless (WNT)/beta-catenin signaling. The encoded protein forms a ternary membrane complex with DKK1 and the WNT receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6), and induces rapid endocytosis and removal of LRP6 from the plasma membrane. It contains extracellular kringle, WSC, and CUB domains. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
