Background

WAS/WASL-interacting protein (WIP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WIPF1 gene. This gene encodes a protein that plays an important role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. The encoded protein binds to a region of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein that is frequently mutated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive disorder. Impairment of the interaction between these two proteins may contribute to the disease. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human WIPF1, which shares 95% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat WIPF1.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in all tissues except liver. Highest levels found in heart, skeletal muscle and pancreas.

Applications

WB, Flow Cytometry

Field of Research

Angiogenesis, Cancer, Cardiovascular, Growth Factors, Growth Factors/Hormones, Invasion/Microenvironment, Neurogenesis, Neurology Process, Neuroscience, Signal Transduction

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Function

Growth factor for endothelial cells. VEGF-B167 binds heparin and neuropilin-1 whereas the binding to neuropilin-1 of VEGF-B186 is regulated by proteolysis.
