Mouse Dkk-3 Protein, His Tag

Source : 

Mouse Dkk-3, His Tag (DK3-M5226) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Pro 23 - Ile 349 (Accession # NP_056629.1).

 

Molecule : Dkk-3

 

Synonyms : DKK3,REIC,RIG

 

Format : Powder

 

Category : Bio-Markers & CD Antigens

 

Accession : NP_056629.1

Characteristics :

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 37.1 kDa. The protein migrates as 55-66 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

 

Endotoxin Level : Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

 

Buffer : PBS, pH7.4

 

Description :

Members of the dickkopf-related protein family (DKK-1, -2, -3, and -4) are secreted proteins with two cysteine-rich domains separated by a linker region. And DKK3 has been proposed as tumour suppressor gene and a marker for tumour blood vessels. DKK3 is the only DKK family member abundantly expressed in normal lung, but silenced by promoter hypermethylation in a large fraction of lung cancer cell lines and lung tumors. Downregulation of DKK3 was correlated with tumor progression and expression of nuclear beta-catenin in lung tumors. Ectopic expression of DKK3 in lung cancer cells with DKK3 hypermethylation induced apoptosis and inhibited TCF-4 activity as well as nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and expression of TCF-4 targets c-Myc and cyclin D1. DKK3 modulates FGF and Activin/Nodal signaling to regulate mesoderm induction during early Xenopus development, was reported.
