WIF1 Mouse

Source: Sf9, Insect cells.Sterile filtered colorless solution.WIF1 binds to wnt proteins and inhibits their activities. WIF1 plays a role in mesoderm segmentation. WNT proteins are extracellular signaling molecules that take part in the control of embryonic development & cancer. WIF1 protein contains a WNT inhibitory factor (WIF) domain and 5 epidermal growth factor (EGF) -like domains. WIF1 takes part in mesoderm segmentation. WIF1 protein is found to be present in fish, amphibia and mammals. WIF1 is a recurrent target in human salivary gland oncogenesis. Downregulation of WIF1 takes part in the development and progression of pleomorphic adenomas. WIF1 is a tumor suppressor, specifically in nonfunctioning pituitary tumors.WIF1 produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 359 amino acids (29-379a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 39.4kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa) .WIF1 is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
