Dickkopf-related protein 3 (DKK3)

Target
DKK3
Molecular classification
Secreted glycoprotein, Dickkopf family member
01

Overview

Dickkopf-related protein 3 (DKK3) is a secreted glycoprotein and a member of the Dickkopf (DKK) family. It plays a complex role in modulating the Wnt signaling pathway, with context-dependent effects on tumor suppression/promotion. DKK3 is also involved in developmental processes, tissue homeostasis, immunomodulation, and kidney disease.
