General description

WIPI-2 belongs to the WIPI subfamily of WD40 repeat proteins. It is widely expressed in a variety of cell lines. The protein is characterized with a 7-bladed propeller structure and contain a conserved motif for interaction with phospholipids. It is a membrane constituent of autophagosomes and the plasma membrane.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of human WIPI-2, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse and rat.

Application

Anti-WIPI-2 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in various immunochemical techniques including
  • immunoblotting
  • immunoprecipitation
  • immunostaining.

Biochem/physiol Actions

WIPI subfamily proteins acts as a key component of many essential biological functions such as signal transduction, transcription regulation and apoptosis. WIPI-2 is a phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding protein that is needed for starvation induced autophagy. In addition, it is also essential for LC3 lipidation and it is linked to early autophagosomal structures together with Atg16L and ULK1.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
