Descripción

General description

An enhanced in solution stable gallocyanine analog that directly and reversibly targets human LRP5/6 (low density lipoprotein-related protein 5/6), and disrupts its interaction with Dkk (Dickkopf) in a competitive manner. Shown to potently reverse DKK1/2/4-mediated inhibition of WNT3A-stimulated reporter gene activity (IC₅₀ ~ 10 - 30 µM in in NIH 3T3 cells) with no effects on sFRP4-mediated inhibition of Wnt signaling. Blocks Dkk-2 - alkaline phosphatase binding to cells expressing LRP5 (IC₅₀ = 1 µM in LRP5 transfected NIH 3T3 cells). Reduces blood glucose levels, improves glucose tolerance, and increases insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic mice (1.5 mg/kg, i.p. daily), mainly via its antagonistic action on DKK2. These effects are not observed in DKK2 ^-/- mice.
