anti-Wnt-6 Antibody

Wnt-6

wnt6, wnt 6, wnt-6, wingless-related MMTV integration site 6,

Wnt gene family members, including Wnt-1 throμgh Wnt-10, play a key role in regulating cellular growth and differentiation. Wnt-1 is a cysteine-rich, secreted glycoprotein that associates with cell membranes and likely functions as a key regulator of cellular adhesion. Wnt-1, which is essential for normal development of the embryonic nervous system, contributes to hyperplasia and tumorigenic progression when improperly expressed in mammary tissue. Wnt-3 is involved in tumorigenesis and Wnt-2 and Wnt-4 may be associated with abnormal proliferation in human breast tissue. Wnt-6 is involved in oncogenesis and is co-expressed with Wnt10 in colorectal cancer cell lines. The presence of cervical and breast cell carcinomas may indicate an over expression of Wnt-6.

Rabbit

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

Human, mouse, rat

Synthetic peptide surrounding amino acid 276 of mouse Wnt-6

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit Wnt-6 polyclonal antibody in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, and 0.01% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml), Immunohistochemistry (10-20 µg/ml). However, the optimal concentrations should be determined individually. The antibody recognizes 40-46 kDa Wnt-6 from rat origins. Reactivity to other species has not been tested.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
