KREMEN1

Kremens are high-affinity receptors for Dickkopf 1 (Dkk1) and regulate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by down-regulating the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6). Kremen1 is considered as one component of a membrane complex modulating canonical Wnt signalling through LRP6 in vertebrates. Additionally, KREMEN1 (KRM1) has also been identified as a functional receptor for Coxsackievirus A10 (CV-A10), a causative agent of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD).
