WT1 Antibody (WT1/1434R) [DyLight 650] Summary

• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: Recombinant human full-length WT1 protein (Uniprot: P19544 )
• Localization: Nucleus and cytoplasm, Shuttles between nucleus and Cytoplasm
• Marker: Wilm's Tumor & Mesothelial Marker
• Specificity: Recognizes a 47-55kDa-tumor suppressor protein, identified as Wilms Tumor (WT1) protein. The antibody reacts with all isoforms of the full-length WT1 and also identifies WT1 lacking exon 2-encoded amino acids, frequently found in subsets of sporadic Wilm s tumors.WT1, a sporadic and familial pediatric kidney tumor, is genetically heterogeneous. Wilm s tumor is associated with mutations of WT1, a zinc-finger transcription factor that is essential for the development of the metanephric kidney and the urogenital system. The WT1 gene is normally expressed in fetal kidney and mesothelium, and its expression has been suggested as a marker for Wilm s tumor and mesothelioma. WT1 protein has been identified in proliferative mesothelial cells, malignant mesothelioma, ovarian carcinoma, gonadoblastoma, nephroblastoma, and desmoplastic small round cell tumor. Lung adenocarcinomas rarely stain positive with this antibody. WT1 protein expression in mesothelial cells has become a reliable marker for the diagnosis of mesotheliomas.

Background

Wilms' tumor protein (WT1) is a transcription factor which regulates the expression of numerous target genes, including EPO. This protein plays an essential role in the normal development of the urogenital system, including cellular development and cell survival, and it has both tumor suppressor and oncogenic roles in tumor formation.

Defects in the WT1 protein can lead to Wilms tumor, Frasier syndrome, Denys-Drash syndrome, nephrotic syndrome type 4, and Meacham syndrome.
