Anti-LRP6 Antibody, clone 1C10

Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6, also known as LRP6, is a member of the low density Lipoprotein receptor gene family (LDLR). LDLR are cell surface proteins. LRP6 plays a crucial role in embryonic development by functioning as a co-receptor for the Wnt signaling pathway. LRP6 is highly homologous and presents itself as a dimer in the cell membrane until it is phosphlorylated by Wnt. LRP6 has a high affinity with the Dickkopf (DKK) family of antagonists which, when bound, block Wnt. When LRP6 binds to Wnt it is phosphlorated at multiple sites, which results in Axin, a scaffolding protein, being recruited to the cell membrane and β-catenin activation. β-catenin prevents Wnt and LRP6 from binding. LRP6 is associated with autosomal dominant coronary artery disease type 2. Mutations resulting in the omission of the extracellular domain of LPR6 results in constant activity whereas carboxy intracellular domain exclusion has a negative effect, resulting in the blocking of Wnt signaling.

~200 kDa observed

Flag-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human LRP6.

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot immunoprecipitated LRP6 in certain cell lyates (Khan, Z., et al. (2007). Mol Cell Biol. 27(20):7291-7301.).

This LRP6 antibody is validated for use in WB & IP for the detection of the LRP6 protein.

Format: Purified

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG containing PBS with 0.05% sodium azide.
