Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects wolframin (gene WFS1) in human samples and is validated for Western blot 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) |
|---|---|
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 cells, human RT4 cells, human PC-3 cells, human A549 cells.
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.
Immunogen
Recombinant human WFS1 fragment (Asp272–Lys876), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. 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.
