Further Information
Wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 5
WNT5 antibody can be used for detection of WNT5 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/ml. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μg/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples and Immunohistochemistry in rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.
WNT5A and WNT5B are near-identical members of the WNT gene family, which consists of structurally related genes which encode secreted signaling proteins that have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis (1,2). WNT5A and WNT5B coordinate chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation by differentially regulating cyclin D1 and p130 expression, as well as chondrocyte-specific Col2a1 expression (3). Up-regulation of WNT5A and WNT5B has been observed in several types of human cancers, suggesting that they may be useful as diagnostic markers or potent therapeutic targets (4).
