This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-57737. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
CXXC4 is zinc finger protein that binds directly to the PDZ domain of DVL1, a protein involved in the Wnt signaling pathway, through its C-terminal region. CXXC4 interaction with DVL1 competes with DVL1-AXIN binding, although the affinity of DVL1 for CXXC4 is lower than that for AXIN. In mouse fibroblasts, CXXC4 suppressed Wnt3a induction of beta-catenin and inhibited Wnt3a-dependent TCF4 activation, suggesting that CXXC4 acts as a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway and functions between DVL and beta-catenin. Recent reports suggest that decreased CXXC4 expression is associated with kidney cancer metastasis, cell proliferation, reduced apoptosis in response to cancer drugs, and upregulation of genes involved with proliferation, invasion and cell survival, suggesting that CXXC4 plays a critical role in tumor progression in kidney cancer.
