DKK1, 2 and 4 are secreted antagonists of WNT signaling that act by binding to LRP5/6 and preventing the formation of an LRP:FZD receptor complex (Semenov et al, 2001; Mao et al, 2001; Bafico et al, 2001; reviewed in Niehrs, 2006). LRP6 has multiple independent WNT binding sites on its surface that are bound by different subsets of WNT proteins (Bourhis et al, 2010; Bourhis et al, 2011). Structural studies show that full length DKK1 binds to an LRP6 site that overlaps with both of these regions, suggesting that WNT and DKK proteins compete for receptor binding (Chen et al, 2011; Ahn et al, 2011; Cheng et al, 2011). Binding of DKK1 is postulated to stabilize LRP6 in an autoinhibited conformation that is relieved upon WNT-binding (Liu et al, 2003; Ahn et al, 2011). In some instances, DKK-mediated inhibition of WNT signaling may be enhanced by the concurrent binding of the single pass transmembrane proteins Kremen1 and 2, although their presence is not absolutely required (Mao et al, 2002; Mao and Niehrs, 2003; Wang et al, 2008). In some cases, DKK2 may also function as a WNT agonist (Brott and Sokol, 2002; Wu et al, 2000; Mao and Nierhs, 2003; Li et al, 2007).
