Summary: This gene encodes a high-affinity dickkopf homolog 1 (DKK1) transmembrane receptor. A similar protein in mouse functions interacts with with DKK1 to block wingless (WNT)/beta-catenin signaling. The encoded protein forms a ternary membrane complex with DKK1 and the WNT receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6), and induces rapid endocytosis and removal of LRP6 from the plasma membrane. It contains extracellular kringle, WSC, and CUB domains. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

Title: N(6)-Methyladenosine-Modified KREMEN2 Promotes Tumorigenesis and Malignant Progression of High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer.
KREMEN2 is upregulated in cancers, consistent with its role in inhibiting Kremen1-induced cell death
Title: Kremen1-induced cell death is regulated by homo- and heterodimerization.
The mRNA expression levels of DKK-1 binding receptor LRP5/6 and Krm1/2 in SCs from patients with MM were significantly higher than those in myeloma cells and in SCs from healthy donors.
Title: Differential expression of DKK-1 binding receptors on stromal cells and myeloma cells results in their distinct response to secreted DKK-1 in myeloma.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001253725.2 → NP_001240654.1 kremen protein 2 isoform e precursor

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001240654.1

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (5) has multiple differences in the coding region, compared to variant 1, one of which results in a translational frameshift. The resulting protein (isoform e) has a distinct C-terminus and is shorter than isoform d.
