Wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 5A (WNT5A) is a secreted signaling glycoprotein that plays important roles in embryonic development, cell fate determination, and tissue homeostasis. As a member of the Wnt signaling pathway, WNT5A primarily activates non-canonical Wnt signaling cascades, including the planar cell polarity pathway and the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway, which regulate cell polarity, migration, and differentiation. WNT5A signaling is necessary for proper skeletal development, limb formation, and various morphogenetic processes. This makes it an important target for developmental biology and regenerative medicine research.
The Mouse Protein Wnt-5a (WNT5A) ELISA kit (CSB-EL026138MO) is designed for quantitative measurement of WNT5A in Mus musculus samples. This sandwich ELISA works with serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, and tissue homogenates. The detection range spans 3.12 pg/mL to 200 pg/mL with sensitivity of 0.78 pg/mL. The assay requires 50-100 μL sample volume, operates with detection at 450 nm wavelength, and can be completed within 1-5 hours.
