The UniProt recommended name is WD repeat-containing protein 55 (WDR55). This protein participates in the maturation of 18S ribosomal RNA and assembly of the small ribosomal subunit, contributing to efficient protein synthesis and cell growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionally, WDR55 antibody identifies a 365-amino-acid protein that localizes to the nucleolus, where it interacts with components of the small subunit (SSU) processome. WDR55's WD-repeat domains form beta-propeller structures that scaffold RNA processing enzymes and ribonucleoprotein complexes necessary for pre-rRNA cleavage and modification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe WDR55 gene is located on chromosome 2q23.3 and is expressed in actively dividing tissues, including testis, thymus, and embryonic stem cells. By regulating ribosome biogenesis, WDR55 supports developmental processes requiring high translational output and cell proliferation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePathologically, loss of WDR55 function disrupts rRNA processing and nucleolar organization, leading to developmental delay, craniofacial abnormalities, and immunodeficiency (as seen in North American Indian childhood cirrhosis-like syndromes). Research using WDR55 antibody supports studies in ribosome assembly, RNA biology, and developmental genetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWDR55 antibody is validated for western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry to detect nucleolar proteins and ribosome assembly factors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally, WD repeat-containing protein 55 contains multiple WD repeats forming a propeller-like fold that mediates stable RNA-protein interactions. This antibody enables investigation of WDR55's role in ribosome biogenesis and nucleolar organization.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=WDR55 - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=WDR55 - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=WDR55 - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/WDR55 - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=WDR55+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047314678125,"sku":"FY13159","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_3f52a97f-e8c7-4732-9445-884780727b39.jpg?v=1782237109","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/wdr55-antibody-wd-repeat-containing-protein-55-bha17136061","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
