WISP1 (Wnt 1 induced Secreted Protein 1, Wnt-1-induced Secreted Protein 1, Wnt1-induced Secreted Protein 1, WISP 1, WISP-1, CCN4, WISP1c, WISP1i, WISP1tc, Wnt-1-induced Secreted Protein, Wnt1-induced Secreted Protein, Wnt-1-inducible Signaling Pathway Pro

This gene encodes a member of the WNT1 inducible signaling pathway (WISP) protein subfamily, which belongs to the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) family. WNT1 is a member of a family of cysteine-rich, glycosylated signaling proteins that mediate diverse developmental processes. The CTGF family members are characterized by four conserved cysteine-rich domains: insulin-like growth factor-binding domain, von Willebrand factor type C module, thrombospondin domain and C-terminal cystine knot-like domain. This gene may be downstream in the WNT1 signaling pathway that is relevant to malignant transformation. It is expressed at a high level in fibroblast cells, and overexpressed in colon tumors. The encoded protein binds to decorin and biglycan, two members of a family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans present in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue, and possibly prevents the inhibitory activity of decorin and biglycan in tumor cell proliferation. It also attenuates p53-mediated apoptosis in response to DNA damage through activation of the Akt kinase. It is 83% identical to the mouse protein at the amino acid level. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other Applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nELISA: 1:128,000\nWestern Blot: 0.1-0.3ug/ml.\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 monthsat -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.\n\nPeptide Blocking:\nCorresponding peptide is available for Peptide Blocking studies. See W1450-50A-P. Antibody
