Rabbit monoclonal antibody [EPR2423(2)] to LRP6LRP6 (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6) is a single span transmembrane Wnt receptor that interacts with Axin to promote the Wnt-dependent accumulation of beta-catenin. Cells treated with Wnt quickly induce plasma membrane-associated LRP6 aggregates. The aggregates are phosphorylated, and then promote Axin recruitment and beta-catenin stabilization. LRP6 is internalized with caveolin and components of this endocytic pathway are required not only for Wnt-3a-induced internalization of LRP6 but also for accumulation of beta-catenin (1-2).
Immunogen
It maps within amino acids 1525-1575 of LRP6 of human origin (Swiss Prot: O75581).

Target Information
Target
LRP6
Tissue Specificity
is specific for Human LRP6.
Cellular Localization
On Wnt signaling, undergoes a cycle of caveolin- or clathrin-mediated endocytosis and plasma membrane location. Released from the endoplasmic reticulum on palmitoylation. Mono-ubiquitination retains it in the endoplasmic reticulum in the absence of palmit
