WIPI-1 Antibody (38-W) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects WIPI-1 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). WIPI-1, also known as WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting-1, ATG18, or WIPI49, is a 446 amino acid protein that plays a crucial role in autophagy and protein trafficking, particularly in recycling pathways. WIPI-1 localization to cytoplasmic vesicles, endosomes, clathrin-coated vesicles, and the trans-Golgi network is vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating the degradation of cellular components. WIPI-1 is ubiquitously expressed, with the highest levels found in the heart, testis, placenta, pancreas, and skeletal muscle, indicating importance in various physiological processes. Notably, WIPI-1 interacts with androgen and estrogen receptors, potentially modulating their function and influencing signaling pathways related to growth and differentiation. WIPI-1 features a unique 7-bladed propeller structure formed by three WD repeats, which is essential for interactions with other proteins, thereby facilitating a role in cellular signaling and trafficking. Additionally, WIPI-1 is expressed in two isoforms, alpha and beta, and WIPI-1 upregulation in various tumors suggests significant involvement in carcinogenesis, making WIPI-1 a potential target for therapeutic intervention and cancer research.
