The WDR45B Polyclonal Antibody (PAC020876) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the WDR45B protein, a key player in autophagy and lysosomal function. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific to human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to WDR45B, the antibody allows for precise detection and analysis of the protein in various cell types, making it an essential component for studies in cellular biology and disease mechanisms.WDR45B, also known as WIPI4, is involved in autophagosome formation and autophagy flux, processes essential for cellular homeostasis and clearance of damaged organelles and proteins.
Dysregulation of autophagy has been linked to various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer, highlighting the importance of studying proteins like WDR45B to better understand these conditions. By investigating the function of WDR45B, researchers can uncover potential therapeutic targets and strategies for treating autophagy-related diseases.

Background:
This gene encodes a member of the WIPI or SVP1 family of WD40 repeat-containing proteins. The protein contains seven WD40 repeats that are thought to fold into a beta-propeller structure that mediates protein-protein interactions, and a conserved motif for interaction with phospholipids. The human genome contains several pseudogenes of this gene.
Synonyms:
WD repeat domain 45B
UniProt Protein Function:
WDR45B: an ubiquitously expressed WD40 repeat protein. Up-regulated in a variety of tumor tissues including ovarian and uterine cancers. WD40 repeats are found in a number of eukaryotic proteins that coordinate multi-protein complex assemblies. WD40 proteins are implicated in many functions including adaptor/regulatory modules in signal transduction, pre-mRNA processing and cytoskeleton assembly.Protein type: Adaptor/scaffoldChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q25.3Cellular Component: extrinsic to membrane; pre-autophagosomal structure membrane; cytosolMolecular Function: phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate bindingBiological Process: protein amino acid lipidation; mitochondrion degradation; autophagic vacuole formation; cellular response to nitrogen starvation
