WNT-4 Antibody – Rat Monoclonal

Wnt-4 is a 38 - 42 kDa member of the Wnt family of secreted glycoproteins, which act as short-range signaling molecules via Frizzled receptors and a cascade of intracellular signals in vertebrate embryogenesis. Wnt-4 has been shown to play a critical role in the development of the reproductive system and in the formation of the kidneys, adrenals, pituitary gland, and mammary tissues. In the development of the reproductive system, Wnt-4 expression is down-regulated in the developing gonad after E11.5, although it persists in the developing ovary. Targeted deletion of Wnt-4 results in masculinization of XX mice, with rudimentary development of the masculine internal (Wolffian) ducts and degeneration of the female (Mullerian) reproductive tract. In addition to its involvement in urogenital development, Wnt-4 is also expressed in the perichondrium of the long bones, and promotes osteoblast differentiation. Wnt-4 may also be associated with abnormal proliferation in human breast tissue.

Small volumes of anti-Wnt-4 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
