Application Note | This affinity purified antibody has been tested by WB and ELISA. Anti-WHIP is useful in western blotting against HEK293 whole cell lysates. Dilutions for western blotting represent a starting point dilution and further optimization may be required. The antibody detects a band of approximately 96.0 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 72.2 kDa). Specific band detection by western blot is blocked by pre-incubating the antibody with the immunizing peptide prior to reaction with the membrane. Reactivity in other immunoassays is unknown. |
Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
Immunogen | This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of the WHIP1 protein. The immunogen sequence shows 100% homology to human WHIP1 (isoform 1) and WHIP2 (isoform 2) with predicted molecular weights of 72.2 kDa and 69.5 kDa, respectively. The immunogen sequence also shows 100% homology to WHIP1 from mouse, rat and monkey sequences. Reactivity with WHIP proteins from other sources is not known, but is likely due to reported homologies. |
Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
Gene ID | 56897 |

Other Names | 56897 |
Purity | This is an affinity purified antibody produced by immunoaffinity chromatography using the immunizing peptide immobilized to a solid phase. Reactivity is expected against human, mouse, rat and monkey WHIP1 protein. |
Storage Condition | Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. |
Precautions Note | This product is for research use only and is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Name | WRNIP1 (HGNC:20876) |
---|---|
Function | Functions as a modulator of initiation or reinitiation events during DNA polymerase delta-mediated DNA synthesis. In the presence of ATP, stimulation of DNA polymerase delta-mediated DNA synthesis is decreased. Also plays a role in the innate immune defense against viruses. Stabilizes the RIGI dsRNA interaction and promotes RIGI 'Lys- 63'-linked polyubiquitination. In turn, RIGI transmits the signal through mitochondrial MAVS. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Colocalizes with WRN in granular structures in the nucleus. |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed. |

Background
Werner's syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by premature aging. Werner helicase interacting protein 1 (WHIP) interacts with the N-terminal portion of Werner protein, which contains an exonuclease domain. This protein shows homology to replication factor C family proteins, and is conserved from E. coli to human. Studies in yeast suggest that this gene product may influence the aging process. A second isoform exists (WHIP2).
