products description :
mAb to cancer antigen HE4. Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) also designated WFDC2 is a 25 kDa biomarker for epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOC). Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) also designated WFDC2 is an important marker for epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOC). HE4 has an apparent MW of 25 kDa. Expressed in a number of normal tissues, including male reproductive system, regions of the respiratory tract and nasopharynx. Highly expressed in a number of tumors cells lines, such ovarian, colon, breast, lung and renal cells lines. Initially described as being exclusively transcribed in the epididymis.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the WFDC domain family. The WFDC domain, or WAP Signature motif, contains eight cysteines forming four disulfide bonds at the core of the protein, and functions as a protease inhibitor in many family members. This gene is expressed in pulmonary epithelial cells, and was also found to be expressed in some ovarian cancers. The encoded protein is a small secretory protein, which may be involved in sperm maturation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
