NCIt definition : A humanized monoclonal antibody directed against Wnt antagonist Dickkopf-1 (DKK1)
with potential anti-osteolytic activity. Anti-DKK1 monoclonal antibody BHQ880 binds
to and inhibits DKK1, enhancing signaling through the Wnt pathway, which may result
in osteoblast differentiation and activation within the bone matrix and the reversal
of tumor-induced osteolytic disease. DKK1 is a potent Wnt signaling pathway antagonist.;
