Target Background | WISP-1, also known as Wnt-1-inducible-signaling pathway protein 1, CCN4 and Wnt-1-induced secreted protein, is a cysteine-rich heparin-binding Glycoprotein belonging to the CCN protein family. It is expressed in many internal organs, such as the lung, kidney and spleen. WISP-1 binds to BMP-2 and enhances mesenchymal cell proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation. , WISP-1 has also been reported to attenuate p53-mediated apoptosis and inhibit TNF-induced cell death, suggesting it may play a role intumorigenesis. |
Name | CCN4 (HGNC:12769) |
---|---|
Synonyms | WISP1 |
Function | Downstream regulator in the Wnt/Frizzled-signaling pathway. Associated with cell survival. Attenuates p53-mediated apoptosis in response to DNA damage through activation of AKT kinase. Up-regulates the anti-apoptotic Bcl-X(L) protein. Adheres to skin and melanoma fibroblasts. In vitro binding to skin fibroblasts occurs through the proteoglycans, decorin and biglycan. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in heart, kidney, lung, pancreas, placenta, ovary, small intestine and spleen. Isoform 2 is expressed predominantly in scirrhous gastric carcinoma and, weakly in placenta Overexpression is associated with several cancers including breast cancer and colon tumors. Isoform 2 is overexpressed in scirrhous gastric carcinoma |
