DKK1 (dickkopf homolog 1 (Xenopus laevis))

MIER1 (mesoderm induction early response 1 homolog (Xenopus laevis))

A. Schematic illustrating the exon-intron organization of the human MIER1 gene Exons are shown as red bars/vertical lines and introns as horizontal lines; exon numbers are indicated below each schematic. The light red bar indicates the facultative intron 16 and the position of the alpha and beta carboxy-terminal coding regions are indicated. Note that the beta coding region is located within th...

RSPO1 (R-spondin homolog (Xenopus laevis))

mRNA about 2.5 kb, 263 residues in full-length translated protein, which contains an N-terminal signal peptide, followed by two cysteine-rich furin-like domains, one thrombospondin type 1 domain (TSP1 domain) and a putative C-terminal nuclear localization signal domain. Three alternatively spliced isoforms have been identified: one lacking the signal peptide encoded by exon 4, one lacking the t...

Changes in Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) and Sclerostin following a Loading Dose of Vitamin D2 (300,000 IU)

Background. Vitamin D is important for bone health, although high loading doses have been associated with an increase in fracture risk. The mechanisms remain uncertain. Aim. We hypothesize that supraphysiological concentrations of 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D may inhibit formation by increasing the production of Wnt inhibitors: sclerostin and DKK1. Subjects and Methods. We measured serum sclerostin and...
