research The Dickkopf Protein Family in Non-Neoplastic Disorders: Emerging Roles and Therapeutic Targeting
The Dickkopf (DKK) protein family, known for regulating the Wnt signaling pathway, has been increasingly recognized for its roles in non-cancerous diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic kidney disease, myocardial injury, neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease, and dermatological issues including alopecia. Recent research highlights the potential of DKK proteins as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in these disorders. This review synthesizes findings from the past three years, exploring the DKK family's pathophysiological roles and clinical relevance, and discusses the challenges and opportunities in leveraging these proteins for diagnosis and treatment.
