UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: O75581 (O75581)
Gene Name:
LRP6
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Component of the Wnt-Fzd-LRP5-LRP6 complex that triggers beta-catenin signaling through inducing aggregation of receptor-ligand complexes into ribosome-sized signalosomes (PubMed:11357136, PubMed:11448771, PubMed:15778503, PubMed:16341017, PubMed:16513652, PubMed:17326769, PubMed:17400545, PubMed:19107203, PubMed:19293931, PubMed:19801552, PubMed:28341812). Cell-surface coreceptor of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which plays a pivotal role in bone formation (PubMed:11357136, PubMed:11448771, PubMed:15778503, PubMed:16341017, PubMed:16513652, PubMed:17326769, PubMed:17400545, PubMed:19107203, PubMed:19293931, PubMed:19801552, PubMed:28341812). The Wnt-induced Fzd/LRP6 coreceptor complex recruits DVL1 polymers to the plasma membrane which, in turn, recruits the AXIN1/GSK3B-complex to the cell surface promoting the formation of signalosomes and inhibiting AXIN1/GSK3-mediated phosphorylation and destruction of beta-catenin (PubMed:16513652). Required for posterior patterning of the epiblast during gastrulation (By similarity)
