False colour image of Western blot : Anti-HE4 antibody [EPR16658] staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in black; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab200828 was shown to bind specifically to HE4. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % 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 before development with Optiblot (ECL reagent ab133456) and imaged with 2 minutes 30 seconds exposure time. Secondary antibodies used were HRP conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit (H+L) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) also known as WAP four-disulfide core domain protein 2 (WFDC2) is a small glycoprotein of approximately 13 kDa. HE4 is most highly expressed in the epithelial cells of reproductive tissues like the epididymis but also in tissues such as the respiratory and urogenital tracts. HE4 is secreted into the extracellular space where it functions and is found in normal range in different body fluids. This secreted protein has gained attention due to its use in various diagnostic tests such as the HE4 test and HE4 assay utilizing HE4 antibodies.
Biological function summary

HE4 participates in innate immune response and epithelial cell protection. HE4 protein plays a role in the modulation of antiprotease activity as it is involved in inhibiting serine proteases. It is not part of a larger protein complex but interacts with multiple protease signaling pathways. HE4 is often studied for its role in modulating protein activity at epithelial barriers contributing to tissue homeostasis and protective mechanisms against infections.

Pathways

HE4 interacts within signaling cascades such as the innate immune pathways and extracellular matrix organization. It links to proteins within these pathways like serine proteases and other WFDC family proteins. HE4 influences protease activity regulation an essential component of tissue remodeling and inflammatory response impacting overall pathway dynamics.

HE4 has strong associations with ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. Its overexpression in these malignancies makes it a valuable biomarker for disease diagnosis and prognosis. HE4 interacts with cancer-related proteins such as CA125 enhancing its utility in combinatory diagnostic approaches. The HE4 test and HE4 ELISA kit price underline its significance in clinical settings for monitoring these cancers where timely detection influences treatment outcomes.
