Anti-SFRP1

This affinity purified antibody is directed against human SFRP protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein from human based on 100% homology for the immunogen sequence. Expect cross reactivity with SFRP1 from mouse, rat and bovine sources as only a single amino acid residue change is found within the immunogen sequence (91% positive by BLAST). Cross reactivity with SFRP1 homologues from other sources has not been determined. Protein function: Soluble frizzled-related proteins (sFRPS) function as modulators of Wnt signaling through direct interaction with Wnts. They have a role in regulating cell growth and differentiation in specific cell types. SFRP1 decreases intracellular beta-catenin levels. Has antiproliferative effects on vascular cells, in vitro and in vivo, and can induce, in vivo, an angiogenic response. In vascular cell cycle, delays the G1 phase and entry into the S phase. In kidney development, inhibits tubule formation and bud growth in metanephroi. Inhibits WNT1/WNT4-mediated TCF-dependent transcription. [The UniProt Consortium]
