Kremen protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KREMEN1 gene.[1][2] Kremen1 is non-conserved in invertebrates but at least two homologs are found in vertebrate species. The protein is a type I transmembrane receptor of ligands Dickkopf1,[3] Dickkopf2, Dickkopf3, Dickkopf4, EpCAM[4] and Rspondin1.
Function
This gene encodes a high-affinity dickkopf homolog 1 (DKK1) transmembrane receptor that functionally cooperates with DKK1 to block wingless (WNT)/beta-catenin signaling. The encoded protein is a component of a membrane complex that modulates canonical WNT signaling through lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6). It contains extracellular kringle, WSC, and CUB domains. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed for this gene.[2]
Kremen1 also has a function in the induction of cell death by apoptosis.[5] This proapototic activity is conditional and depends on the absence of ligand Dickkopf1.[5] These observations led to the classification of this protein as a Dependence Receptor.
A mouse knock out of Kremen1 and its paralog Kremen2 has no obvious phenotype and is viable and fertile.[6]
