immunoprecipitation (IP): 10-20 μg using lysate of HEK-293T cells expressing human LRP6 western blot: 1-2 μg/mL using lysate of HEK-293T cells expressing human LRP6
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-6 (LRP6) is expressed primarily in the central nervous system. This protein is made up of three subdomains in the extracellular domain, such as epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain, YWTD-type β-propeller domain, and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) type A (LA) domain. The LRP6 gene is located on the human chromosome at 12p13.2.
Specificity
Anti-LRP6 (C-terminal region) specifically recognizes human LRP6.
Application
Anti-LRP6 (C-terminal region) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-6 (LRP6) is essential for proper brain development. The LRP6 protein forms a Wnt-Frizzled (Fz)-LRP6 complex that recruits axin to the plasma membrane resulting in the inhibition of βcatenin phosphorylation and degradation, and activation of T-cell factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF-1)-dependent transcription. Deletion of the LRP6 gene results in severe brain abnormalities. LRP6 also plays a central role in human disease. Mutations in the LRP6 gene are associated with coronary heart disease and osteoporosis.
Physical form

Storage and Stability
Store at –20 °C. For continuous use, the product may be stored at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots at –20 °C. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

Low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related proteins 5 and 6 (LRP5/6) are Wnt co-receptors essential for Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Dickkopf 1 (DKK1) inhibits Wnt signaling by interacting with the extracellular domains of LRP5/6 and is a drug target for multiple diseases. Here we present

Congenital mesenchymal tumors are diagnostically challenging as they are rare and may feature overlapping patterns between several benign, low-grade, and tumors of intermediate malignancy, including myofibromatosis, myofibroma/hemangiopericytoma, congenital fibrosarcoma, and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Their immunophenotype is either silent or minimally
