WISP1 also known as Wnt1 Inducible Signaling Pathway Protein 1 or CCN4 is a protein with significant roles in cellular processes. This protein has an approximate mass of 41 kDa. You can find its expression in various tissues including bone cartilage and vascular tissues. WISP1 belongs to the CCN family of proteins which are matricellular proteins that interact with different cell surface molecules and receptor systems to modulate cellular functions.

Biological function summary

WISP1 plays an important role in cellular proliferation differentiation and survival. It functions as a matricellular protein that can form complexes with integrins and other cell surface receptors. This interaction influences cellular responses to environmental signals. WISP1 contributes to extracellular matrix interaction and cellular adhesion. By regulating these processes WISP1 supports tissue development repair and regeneration.

Pathways

The network of interactions influenced by WISP1 impacts several key signaling pathways including the Wnt signaling pathway and the TGF-beta pathway. These pathways are important for regulating cell growth and differentiation. In connection with the Wnt pathway WISP1 interacts with proteins like beta-catenin which plays an important role in signal transduction and gene expression. These interactions help maintain proper cellular function and structural integrity.

WISP1 shows links to cancer and fibrosis. Dysregulation of WISP1 expression and its related pathways can contribute to the development and progression of these conditions. In cancers WISP1 interacts with proteins like beta-catenin and contributes to the regulation of oncogenic processes such as tumor growth and metastasis. In fibrosis WISP1 influences the deposition of extracellular matrix proteins affecting tissue scarring and organ function.
