Introduction of YWHAH
YWHAH (14-3-3η or 14-3-3 protein eta), an acidic protein primarily found in the brain, plays a critical role in neural tissue differentiation and early mesenchyme. As a member of the highly conserved 14-3-3 protein family, it functions in monoamine biosynthesis. YWHAH regulates the stability of human tyrosine hydroxylase type 1 (hTH1), negatively regulates parkin's ubiquitin ligase activity, and stimulates the activity of glutamate decarboxylase 1 (GAD1) to catalyze GABA formation.

Genetic variations in the YWHAH gene, such as changes in a 7 bp repeat in its 5' UTR, have been associated with early-onset schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar disorder. YWHAH mutations have also been linked to early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, underscoring its role in neurological health. In cancer, YWHAH is a target of miR-660-5p. Its knockdown partially reverses the tumor-suppressive function of the miR-660-5p inhibitor. This miR-660-5p/YWHAH axis activates the PI3K/AKT pathway, promoting EMT and cell cycle progression.

FAQs
-
Why is YWHAH analysis important for my research?
YWHAH, a member of the 14-3-3 protein family, is a critical signaling molecule involved in diverse cellular processes. Aberrant expression or function of YWHAH has been linked to a wide range of pathologies, including cancers and neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, making its analysis essential for understanding disease mechanisms and discovering novel biomarkers.
-
How can I choose the right YWHAH analysis service for my project?
Selecting the appropriate analysis depends on your research questions. If you are interested in gene regulation, our gene expression and polymorphism services would be suitable. If your focus is on protein function or as a circulating biomarker, our immunoassay or proteomic profiling services are the best options.
-
Can you help me with a YWHAH assay for a non-human species?
Yes, we can assist with YWHAH analysis for a variety of species. Given the highly conserved nature of the 14-3-3 protein family, we can develop and optimize species-specific assays. We will work with you to ensure our methods are validated for your particular non-human model.
-
How do you ensure the specificity of your YWHAH antibodies?
We ensure the specificity of our YWHAH-specific antibodies through rigorous validation. This includes testing them against other members of the 14-3-3 family and using techniques such as WB with knockout or knockdown cell lines to confirm they only bind to YWHAH and not to other related proteins.
-
Do you offer services for detecting YWHAH in extracellular vesicles (EVs)?
Yes, we can perform analysis for the detection of YWHAH in extracellular vesicles. This is an emerging area of research, and we have the expertise to isolate and analyze EV-derived proteins.
-
What is the minimum sample volume required for your immunoassays?
The minimum sample volume required for our immunoassays will vary based on the specific assay format and the expected concentration of YWHAH in your sample. We will discuss these requirements with you during the initial project planning phase to ensure your samples are sufficient for the analysis.
