Product details:
Abcam's WISP-1 (CCN4) Human ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an
in vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay designed for the quantitative measurement of Human WISP-1 in serum, plasma (collect plasma using EDTA as an anticoagulant. Heparin and Citrate are not recommended as anticoagulants for use in this assay) and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human WISP-1coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and WISP-1 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human WISP-1 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of WISP-1 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.
Optimization may be required with urine samples.

WISP1 also known as Wnt1 Inducible Signaling Pathway Protein 1 or CCN4 is a protein with significant roles in cellular processes. This protein has an approximate mass of 41 kDa. You can find its expression in various tissues including bone cartilage and vascular tissues. WISP1 belongs to the CCN family of proteins which are matricellular proteins that interact with different cell surface molecules and receptor systems to modulate cellular functions.
Biological function summary
WISP1 plays an important role in cellular proliferation differentiation and survival. It functions as a matricellular protein that can form complexes with integrins and other cell surface receptors. This interaction influences cellular responses to environmental signals. WISP1 contributes to extracellular matrix interaction and cellular adhesion. By regulating these processes WISP1 supports tissue development repair and regeneration.
Pathways
The network of interactions influenced by WISP1 impacts several key signaling pathways including the Wnt signaling pathway and the TGF-beta pathway. These pathways are important for regulating cell growth and differentiation. In connection with the Wnt pathway WISP1 interacts with proteins like beta-catenin which plays an important role in signal transduction and gene expression. These interactions help maintain proper cellular function and structural integrity.
WISP1 shows links to cancer and fibrosis. Dysregulation of WISP1 expression and its related pathways can contribute to the development and progression of these conditions. In cancers WISP1 interacts with proteins like beta-catenin and contributes to the regulation of oncogenic processes such as tumor growth and metastasis. In fibrosis WISP1 influences the deposition of extracellular matrix proteins affecting tissue scarring and organ function.
