If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose.

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Description

The expression region of this recombinant Human DKK2 covers amino acids 34-259. This DKK2 protein is theoretically predicted to have a molecular weight of 41 kDa. This DKK2 recombinant protein is manufactured in e.coli. The N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO tag was fused into the coding gene segment of DKK2, making it easier to detect and purify the DKK2 recombinant protein in the later stages of expression and purification.

Human dickkopf-related protein 2 (DKK2) is a member of the Dickkopf family of proteins, which are involved in the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. The Wnt signaling pathway plays a critical role in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and cell differentiation. DKK2 acts as an antagonist of Wnt signaling by binding to the LRP5/6 co-receptors, preventing their interaction with Wnt ligands. By inhibiting Wnt signaling, DKK2 contributes to the regulation of cell fate decisions and tissue development. Dysregulation of DKK2 has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, where altered Wnt signaling is often observed. Studying DKK2 provides insights into the intricate regulatory mechanisms of Wnt signaling and its implications in health and disease.

Target Background

Function

Antagonizes canonical Wnt signaling by inhibiting LRP5/6 interaction with Wnt and by forming a ternary complex with the transmembrane protein KREMEN that promotes internalization of LRP5/6. DKKs play an important role in vertebrate development, where they locally inhibit Wnt regulated processes such as antero-posterior axial patterning, limb development, somitogenesis and eye formation. In the adult, Dkks are implicated in bone formation and bone disease, cancer and Alzheimer disease.

Knock down of the dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 2 (DKK2) resulted in a significant suppression of HOXD10, HOXD11 and HOXD13 while over-expression of DKK2 and stimulation with factors of the WNT signaling pathway. PMID: 27363011
