WIPI1 Antibody: ATG18, ATG18A, WIPI49, WD repeat domain phosphoinositide-interacting protein 1, Atg18 protein homolog, WIPI-1
Product description
WIPI1 Antibody: WIPI1 (WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting-1), also known as WIPI1, ATG18 or WIPI49, is thought to play a role in autophagy and may regulate protein trafficking in certain recycling pathways. It contains three WD repeats and has a 7-bladed propeller structure with a conserved motif that facilitates its interaction with other proteins. WIPI1 localizes to cytoplasmic vesicles, endosomes, clathrin-coated vesicles and the trans-Golgi network. It is ubiquitously expressed with highest expression in heart, testis, placenta, pancreas and skeletal muscle. WIPI1 is upregulated in a variety of tumors, suggesting a role in carcinogenesis.1) Proikas-Cezanne T and Robenek H. Freeze-fracture replica immunolabelling reveals human WIPI-1 and WIPI-2 as membrane proteins of autophagosomes. J. Cell. Mol. Med. 2011; 15:2007-10.
Immunogen
WIPI1 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human WIPI1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 350 - 400 of WIPI1.
