Description
Wiskott-Adrich syndrome protein (WASP)-Interacting Protein (WIP) is a member of the verprolin family of proteins that regulate cytoskeletal organization in a wide variety of cellular activities, including endocytosis, cellular adhesion and migration, mast cell degranulation, and lymphocyte activation. The 503-amino acid WIP protein contains binding sites for actin (globular and filamentous) and other proteins that are involved in the regulation of actin polymerization, such as WASP, N-WASP, profilin, cortactin, Hck, and NCK. As its functions imply, WIP is localized in actin-rich cell structures. The K32-824 monoclonal antibody recognizes the phosphorylated serine 488 (pS488) of human WIP. The orthologous phosphorylation sites in mouse and rat WIP are S478 and S472, respectively.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).

3. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
4. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
5. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
