Related Product Information for WISP3 recombinant protein

Recombinant Human WISP3 was expressed in E Coli cells. The protein accession number is O95389
WNT1-inducible-signaling pathway protein 3 (WISP3) is a member of the CCN family of cysteine-rich, glycosylated signalling proteins that mediate several developmental processes, and a member of the WNT1 inducible signalling pathway (WISP) subfamily. Members of this family are characterized by four conserved cysteine-rich domains: insulin-like growth factor-binding domain (IGFBP), von Willebrand factor type C (VWFC) domain, thrombospondin type-1 repeat (TSP type-1) domain, and C-terminal cystine knot-like (CTCK) domain. WISP3 is expressed in mature and fetal kidneys, testis, and in lower levels in the ovary, placenta, prostate, and small intestine. It is necessary for the growth of postnatal skeleton and cartilage homeostasis.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the WNT1 inducible signaling pathway (WISP) protein subfamily, which belongs to the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) family. WNT1 is a member of a family of cysteine-rich, glycosylated signaling proteins that mediate diverse developmental processes. The CTGF family members are characterized by four conserved cysteine-rich domains: insulin-like growth factor-binding domain, von Willebrand factor type C module, thrombospondin domain and C-terminal cystine knot-like domain. This gene is overexpressed in colon tumors. It may be downstream in the WNT1 signaling pathway that is relevant to malignant transformation. Mutations of this gene are associated with progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia, an autosomal recessive skeletal disorder, indicating that the gene is essential for normal postnatal skeletal growth and cartilage homeostasis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

WISP3: Appears to be required for normal postnatal skeletal growth and cartilage homeostasis. Defects in WISP3 are the cause of progressive pseudorheumatoid arthropathy of childhood (PPAC). PPAC is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by stiffness and swelling of joints, motor weakness and joint contractures. Signs and symptoms of the disease develop typically between three and eight years of age. This progressive disease is a primary disorder of articular cartilage with continued cartilage loss and destructive bone changes with aging. Belongs to the CCN family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
