Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of DKK3 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the dickkopf family. The secreted protein contains two cysteine rich regions and is involved in embryonic development through its interactions with the Wnt signaling pathway. The expression of this gene is decreased in a variety of cancer cell lines and it may function as a tumor suppressor gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
