Biological background

Protein function (datasheet): Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Probable developmental protein. May be a signaling molecule which affects the development of discrete regions of tissues. Is likely to signal over only few cell diameters (By similarity). Overexpression may be associated with abnormal proliferation in human breast tissue. .

Scientific background (datasheet): Wingless-type MMIV integration site family, member4, is a secreted protein that in humans is encoded by the Wnt4 gene. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, WNT4 gene was mapped to chromosome 1p35, a location consistent with the results of radiation hybrid mapping. The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes that encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and embryogenesis.

Cellular localization (datasheet): Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.

Tissue details (datasheet): Moderately expressed in placenta and at low levels in adult lung, spleen, and prostate.

Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the Wnt family.

Research relevance and current trends

• Commonly studied in contexts related to Adapters,Cancer,Developmental Biology,Oncoproteins/Suppressors,Organogenesis,Reproduction,Secreted,Signal Transduction,Signaling Pathways,Stem Cells,Transmembrane,Tumor Suppressors.
• Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
• Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
• ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
• Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.

As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
