Function | Receptor for Dickkopf proteins. Cooperates with DKK1/2 to inhibit Wnt/beta-catenin signaling by promoting the endocytosis of Wnt receptors LRP5 and LRP6. In the absence of DKK1, potentiates Wnt-beta- catenin signaling by maintaining LRP5 or LRP6 at the cell membrane. Can trigger apoptosis in a Wnt-independent manner and this apoptotic activity is inhibited upon binding of the ligand DKK1. Plays a role in limb development; attenuates Wnt signaling in the developing limb to allow normal limb patterning and can also negatively regulate bone formation. Modulates cell fate decisions in the developing cochlea with an inhibitory role in hair cell fate specification. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q99N43}; Single-pass type I membrane protein |

Background
KREMEN1 Antibody: Kremen (Kringle containing protein marking the eye and the nose) proteins are type I transmembrane proteins that contain extracellular kringle, WSC and CUB domains and an intracellular region without any conserved motifs. Kremens bind a subset of the secreted Dickkopf proteins (Dkk 1, 2, and 4) with high affinity to modulate the canonical Wnt signaling pathway that is transduced by the ternary receptor complex composed of Wnt, Frizzled, and the LDL receptor related protein 5/6 (LRP5/6) coreceptor. KREMEN1 is a receptor for the Dickkopf protein which blocks Wnt/beta catenin signaling. It is necessary to ensure normal spatial and temporal patterns of Wnt activity during developmental processes.
