Protein name Dickkopf-related protein 4 (Dickkopf-4) (Dkk-4) (hDkk-4) [Cleaved into: Dickkopf-related protein 4 short form]
Protein function Antagonizes canonical Wnt signaling by inhibiting LRP5/6 interaction with Wnt and by forming a ternary complex with the transmembrane protein KREMEN that promotes internalization of LRP5/6. DKKs play an important role in vertebrate development,
