The Wilms tumor gene on the X chromosome (WTX) gene encodes two protein forms resulting from alternative splicing at the N-terminus. The encoded protein localizes between the cytoplasm and nucleus and is present in a distinct subnuclear compartment. The WTX gene is mapped to human chromosome Xq11.2.
Specificity
Anti-WTX (C-terminal) specifically recognizes human WTX.
Anti-WTX (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The Wilms tumor gene on the X chromosome (WTX) gene is found targeted by deletions and truncations in up to 30% of Wilms tumor. Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric kidney cancer and a pluripotent tumor that arises from a kidney-specific stem cell population. All known WTX mutations are somatic, targeting the single X chromosome in males or the active X chromosome in females, thus leading to its complete inactivation. WTX has been shown to form a complex with -catenin, axis inhibition protein 1 (AXIN1), -transducin repeat containing protein 2 (-TrCP2), and anaphase-promoting complex (APC). In cultured cells, WTX negatively regulates the wingless-related integration site (Wnt) /-catenin signaling by promoting -catenin ubiquitination and thus targets its degradation by the proteasome. Loss of WTX function in Wilms tumor results in the stabilization of -catenin and its translocation to the nucleus. WTX colocalizes with p54nrb/ non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (NonO) and binds WT1 to modulate its activity, suggesting that WTX may play a role in the transcriptional regulation of cell differentiation. It is also implicated RNA processing.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
Store at -20 °C.For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
