Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation: Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10). This means that the protein of interest is denatured. If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions: Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

Wnt5a also known simply as Wnt-5a is a member of the Wnt family of signaling proteins. It plays a role in non-canonical Wnt signaling which means it does not involve the typical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. The protein has a molecular weight of approximately 42 kDa and is widely expressed in various tissues including the brain lungs and reproductive organs. Wnt5a influences several cellular processes such as cell movement polarity and organ development by binding to Frizzled family receptors and co-receptors like ROR1 and ROR2.
Wnt5a drives critical processes in development and tissue homeostasis. It acts by guiding cell migration and establishing cell polarity. Wnt5a is not part of a single large complex but interacts with membrane receptors and co-receptors to exert its effects. This interaction initiates signaling cascades that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics which is essential in both embryonic development and adult tissue maintenance. Wnt5a's role is pivotal in maintaining cellular organization and function across different biological contexts.
Wnt5a participates significantly in the planar cell polarity pathway and the Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway. In these pathways Wnt5a affects the activity of proteins such as Dishevelled and CaMKII to influence cellular functions independently from beta-catenin. These pathways regulate processes like tissue morphogenesis and cell orientation maintaining the spatial arrangement and structural integrity of tissues.
Wnt5a has been linked to cancer progression and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It interacts with proteins like ROR1 and ROR2 during these pathologies. In cancer abnormal Wnt5a signaling can lead to enhanced cell migration and invasion contributing to metastasis. In rheumatoid arthritis Wnt5a may drive inflammatory pathways and joint tissue damage. Researchers consider Wnt5a a target for therapeutic interventions in these conditions with ongoing studies focused on modulating its activity for disease management.

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-WNT5A antibody staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, the antibody was shown to bind specifically to WNT5A. A band was observed at 40-45 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in WNT5A knockout cell line Human WNT5A knockout HeLa cell line ab264019 (knockout cell lysate ab264515). To generate this image, wild-type and WNT5A knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.
