Anti-WNT10A antibody produced in rabbit

General description

The gene WNT10A (wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 10A) encodes a member of the WNT gene family, the members of which are secreted signaling proteins. The encoded protein spans a length of 417 amino acids and contains a WNT core domain. The gene is clustered along with WNT6 gene in a head-to-tail manner interspaced with 7kb segment on human chromosome 2q35. It is highly expressed in fetal kidney, placenta, adult spleen and kidney. It is found to be coexpressed with WNT6 in colorectal cancer. It is also found to be expressed in promyelocytic leukemia and Burkitt′s lymphoma.

Immunogen

Protein Wnt-10a precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The protein encoded by the gene WNT10A (wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 10A) may be involved in the inhibition of adipogenesis as its expression is found to be downregulated during the development of white adipocytes. It is found to stabilize β-catenin and stimulate osteoblastogenesis. It regulates the fate of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC). Mutations in this gene has been linked to Odonto-onycho-dermal dysplasia, an autosomal recessive syndrome, characterized by dry hair, severe hypodontia, smooth tongue with marked reduction of fungiform and filiform papillae, onychodysplasia, keratoderma and hyperhidrosis of palms and soles, and hyperkeratosis of the skin.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage
