GRADE & PURITYAnimal Free?Animal-free — produced without animal-derived components to reduce contamination risk. Use in biomanufacturing and culture avoiding animal-origin material.Carrier Free?Carrier-free — supplied without added carrier protein/stabilizer. Use when carriers (e.g. BSA) would interfere with conjugation or sensitive assays.His Tag?His tag grade — recombinant protein bearing a His tag for affinity purification/detection. Use to purify, immobilize, or detect the tagged protein.PBS Only?PBS-only formulation — supplied in phosphate-buffered saline with no other additives. Use when you need a clean PBS buffer free of stabilizers/carriers.≥95%(SDS-PAGE)
Purity: ≥95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining. Description: HE4 (also WFDC2; WAP Four-disulfide core domain protein 2) is a secreted, 25 kDa glycoprotein member of the Whey Acidic Protein family of molecules. It is expressed by a wide variety of epithelial cells, including respiratory epithelium, salivary gland mucous cells, breast duct epithelium, distal tubule renal epithelium, and epididymal epithelium. It is believed to play a role in innate defense, and/or function as a protease inhibitor (perhaps for neutrophil elastase). Ovarian epithelial tumors have an increased expression of HE4, leading to the suggestion that HE4 could represent a tumor marker for ovarian cancer. Mature human HE4 is 94 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains two WAP domains that likely mediate antiprotease and/or antimicrobial activity (aa 31‑73 and 74‑123). There are four potential splice variants. One shows a deletion of aa 27‑74, while three others show aa substitutions: 28 aa for aa 75‑124, 23 aa for aa 1‑74, and 10 aa for aa 71‑124. Over aa 31‑124, human HE4 shares 63% aa identity with an extended (144 amino acid) mouse form of mature HE4.
