Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for WFDC2(NM_006103.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

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.
Gene References into function
- This protein's gene is amplified in ovarian carcinoma; it can serve as a tumor marker for this disease.
- HE4 is a secreted glycoprotein that is overexpressed by serous and endometrioid endometrioid ovarian carcinoma.
- WFDC2 may be a component of the innate immune defences of the lung, nasal and oral cavities that functions in concert with related WAP domain-containing proteins in epithelial host defence.
- WFDC2 is upregulated after radical prostatectomy for prostatic neoplasms.
- Assays measuring HE4 in serum and other bodily fluids are likely to be clinically useful for patients with ovarian cancer.
