Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes wolframin (gene WFS1) in human and monkey samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 100.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 100 kDa.
Wolframin (WFS1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the endoplasmic reticulum that helps control calcium storage in the ER and dampens the ER stress response. Loss-of-function mutations in WFS1 cause Wolfram syndrome, so the protein is studied in ER stress, pancreatic β-cell survival and neurodegeneration.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Monkey) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Immunocytochemistry / Immunofluorescence | 5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human placenta tissue, human T-47D cells, monkey lung tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human lung cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): HepG2 cells.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): U2OS cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human WFS1 fragment (Ala61–His313), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human and monkey. UniProt places wolframin in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and cytoplasmic vesicle. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Highly expressed in heart followed by brain, placenta, lung and pancreas. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
