Recombinant Mouse Wnt-16b Protein Summary
Product Specifications
Asn30-Lys364
Analysis
Product Datasheets
Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Scientific Data
Recombinant Mouse Wnt-16b (Catalog # 9148-WN) induces differentiation of the C3H10T1/2 mouse mesenchymal stem cell line to alkaline phosphatase secreting osteoblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is 2-12 µg/mL.

Background: Wnt-16b
Wnt-16 is a 40 kDa protein within the Wnt family of secreted, highly conserved, cysteine-rich, palmitoylated cell signaling glycoproteins that play important roles in vertebrate developmental pattern formation, cell fate decision, axon guidance, and tumor formation (1-3). Mature mouse Wnt‑16 shares 92% and 97% aa sequence identity with human and rat Wnt‑16, respectively. Wnt-16 is expressed by uterine stromal cells adjacent to the luminal epithelium during implantation (4). It is
up-regulated during the first embryonic lymphoid progenitor differentiation (5). Congenital heart defects correlate with elevated Wnt-16 in mouse embryos and human amniotic fluid (6). It is secreted by osteoblasts and inhibits monocyte differentiation into osteoclasts, thereby contributing to cortical bone thickness and bone mineral density [1279, 7]. Wnt-16 is over-expressed in cells undergoing replicative senescence, and it is up-regulated in articular cartilage by injury and osteoarthritis (9, 10). Wnt-16b expression in skin is up-regulated and enhances cell survival in human basal cell carcinomas (11). Its expression is also up-regulated by DNA damage (radiation and chemotherapy) in stroma surrounding prostate tumors, causing enhanced survival and treatment resistance in the tumor cells (12). Pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia with t(1;19) translocation, creating an E2A-Pbx1 fusion protein, also causes up-regulation of Wnt-16 that confers resistance to apoptosis (13, 14). Wnt-16 signaling through both canonical and JNK-mediated (non-canonical) pathways is reported (9-11).
