DATASHEET  

Members of the Wiskott-Aldrich sydrome protein (WASP) family regulate the formation of actin-based cell structures in many cell types. These proteins contain C-terminal actin-binding domains that can stimulate actin polymerization. In addition, these proteins bind the ARP2/3 complex, which can nucleate actin polymerization at sites that lead to branched actin structures. WASP is expressed primarily in hematopoietic cells, while its homolog N-WASP is widely expressed. These proteins have 48% identity in human with the highest homology in the functional regions of these proteins. Serine and tyrosine phosphorylation regulates the activity of both proteins. WASP is observed as a 63 kDa protein in hematopoietic cells, while N-WASP is observed as a 65 kDa in many tissues, especially brain.

WASP / N-WASP synthetic peptide corresponds to a region near the C-terminus of human WASP. This sequence is highly homologous with a similar region in human N-WASP.

The peptide is specifically recognized by anti-WASP/N-WASP antibody (WP2101) in ELISA, and has been shown to block the reactivity of WP2101 during Western blot. In addition, the peptide is recommended for use in blocking WP2101 reactivity in immunocytochemistry.

*All molecular weights (MW) are confirmed by comparison to Bio-Rad Rainbow Markers and to western blot mobilities of known proteins with similar MW.
