Anti-HE4 Antibody [JF62-09]

HE4 (whey acidic protein (WAP)-type four-disulfide core-2, WFDC2) is a small secretory protein that may influence sperm maturation. HE4 gene expression is high in pulmonary epithelial cells and in some ovarian cancers. HE4 protein has a WAP motif that contains eight cysteines forming four disulfide bonds at the core of the protein. The WAP motif functions as a protease inhibitor in many of the family members that contain them.
