Negative regulation of bone formation by the transmembrane Wnt antagonist Kremen-2.
Wnt signalling is a key pathway controlling bone formation in mice and humans. One of the regulators of this pathway is Dkk1, which antagonizes Wnt signalling through the formation of a ternary complex with the transmembrane receptors Krm1/2 and Lrp5/6, thereby blocking the induction of Wnt signalli...

Wnt signalling is a key pathway controlling bone formation in mice and humans.
