WDR77 Antibody (FG-4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects WDR77 in mouse, rat, and human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). WDR77, also known as MEP50, is a 342 amino acid protein characterized by the presence of five WD-repeats, which are essential for its role in the early assembly of U small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs). WDR77 is a critical component of a methyltransferase complex that includes protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), which catalyzes the conversion of arginine residues to dimethylarginines in spliceosomal Sm proteins. This post-translational modification facilitates the targeting of Sm proteins to the survival of motor neurons (SMN) complex, where they are incorporated into ribonucleoprotein core particles essential for RNA processing and splicing. Proper functioning of WDR77 and associated complexes is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, and dysregulation has been implicated in the development of testicular tumors, highlighting potential roles in carcinogenesis. anti-WDR77 antibody (FG-4) is an invaluable tool for researchers investigating molecular mechanisms underlying RNA metabolism and implications in cancer biology.
