Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and DKK1 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human DKK1 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of DKK1 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.\u003cbr\u003e\nOptimization may be required with urine samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Storage information--20°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe DKK1 protein also known as Dickkopf-1 is a secreted protein with a mass of approximately 28-30 kDa. It plays a mechanical role in inhibiting the Wnt signaling pathway by binding to LRP5\/6 co-receptors preventing Wnt ligands from activating the pathway. DKK1 is expressed in various tissues including the bone brain and placenta reflecting its involvement in several biological processes. Its capacity to bind and neutralize the Wnt pathway components cements DKK1's role as a significant modulator of cellular functions.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe inhibition of the Wnt signaling by DKK1 alters cell proliferation differentiation and migration. DKK1 does not function as part of a large multi-protein complex but interacts directly with specific co-receptors and modulates the activity of key signaling molecules. This regulatory mechanism controls processes like bone formation and neurogenesis indicating DKK1's broad impact in development and tissue homeostasis. Its expression pattern and biological role position it as an important player in maintaining proper cellular signaling environments.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nDKK1 is a critical player in the Wnt signaling and bone remodeling pathways. Through its interaction with Wnt pathway components like LRP5\/6 DKK1 modulates these pathways affecting downstream proteins such as β-catenin and influencing gene transcription. In the bone remodeling context DKK1's ability to regulate osteoblast activity connects it to other related proteins like sclerostin contributing to bone density and health.\u003cbr\u003e\nElevated levels of DKK1 are observed in conditions like osteoporosis and cancer. In osteoporosis DKK1's inhibition of Wnt signaling leads to reduced bone formation implicating it alongside proteins like sclerostin in deteriorating bone health. In cancer DKK1's dysregulation can promote tumorigenesis by altering cell signaling and microenvironment interactions. These roles underline the potential of targeting DKK1 for therapeutic purposes in treating these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843628159145,"sku":"ab100501","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab100501","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
