Wnt Signaling Antibody Sampler Kit #2915

    Product Information

    Product Description

    The Wnt Signaling Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means of detecting integral proteins within the Wnt signaling pathway. The kit contains enough primary and secondary antibody to perform two Western blots with each.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Wnt3a (C64F2) Rabbit mAb detects transfected Wnt3a protein in L cells and the conditioned medium from L/Wnt3a cells. Phospho-LRP6 (Ser1490) Antibody detects endogenous levels of LRP6 protein when phosphorylated at Ser1490. The remaining antibodies in the Wnt Signaling Sampler Kit detect endogenous levels of their respective total proteins.

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu256 of human Wnt3a, Glu176 of human Wnt5a, Met988 of human LRP6, Gly176 of human Dvl2, and Ala217 of human Naked2. The monoclonal antibody for Axin1 is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant human Axin1. The phospho-specific polyclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser1490 of human LRP6. The total polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding the carboxy terminus of human Dvl3 and Gln227 of human Naked1. Polyclonal antibodies are purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromotagraphy.

    Background

    The Wnt family includes several secreted glycoproteins that play important roles in animal development (1). Aberrant activation of Wnt signaling pathways is involved in several types of cancers (2). Wnt members bind to the Frizzled family of proteins and activate several signaling pathways (3). The canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway requires a coreceptor from proteins belonging to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, such as LRP5 and LRP6 (4). Upon stimulation with Wnt, LRP6 is phosphorylated by kinases such as GSK-3 and CK1 and subsequently recruits Axin to the membrane (5-7). In the absence of Wnt stimulation, the multidomain scaffold proteins Axin1 and Axin2 negatively regulate Wnt signaling. Axin1 complexes with APC, GSK-3β, Dvl and β-catenin and promotes the GSK-3β-mediated phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of β-catenin (8-9). The Disheveled (Dsh) proteins (Dvl1, Dvl2 and Dvl3) inhibit glycogen synthase kinase-3β, thereby promoting β-catenin stabilization (4,10). Naked inhibits the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway by binding to Dsh proteins and directing Dsh activity towards the planar cell polarity pathway (11-12).
