Alternative names:

DKK-1;SK

Description:

Recombinant human DKK1 Protein with C-terminal human Fc tag

Background:

This gene encodes a member of the dickkopf family of proteins. Members of this family are secreted proteins characterized by two cysteine-rich domains that mediate protein-protein interactions. The encoded protein binds to the LRP6 co-receptor and inhibits beta-catenin-dependent Wnt signaling. This gene plays a role in embryonic development and may be important in bone formation in adults. Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in numerous human cancers and this protein may promote proliferation, invasion and growth in cancer cell lines.

Molecular characterization:

DKK1(Thr32-His266) hFc(Glu99-Ala330)

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 51.9 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.The apparent molecular mass of DKK1-hFC is approximately 70 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

C-Human Fc Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

DKK1

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
