WISP2 Antibody, mAb, Mouse

Mouse IgG1

The antibody is stable in lyophilized form if stored at -20C or below. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for 2-3 weeks at 2-8C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

WISP-2 is a member of the connective tissue growth factor/cysteine-rich 61/nephroblastoma overexpressed (nov) (CCN) family and is upregulated in the mouse mammary epithelial cell line C57MG transformed by Wnt-1 and in several non-invasive human breast tumor cell lines. WISP-2 expression is enhanced by important modulators of human breast cancer cell proliferation such as estrogen, progesterone and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in MCF-7 cells. These effects, inhibited by appropriate antagonists, indicate that steroids and growth factor-induced upregulation of WISP-2 may be mediated through receptors. WISP2 gene may be downstream in the WNT1 signaling pathway that is relevant to malignant transformation. Its expression in colon tumors is reduced while the other two WISP members are overexpressed in colon tumors. It is expressed at high levels in bone tissue, and may play an important role in modulating bone turnover.
