Synthetic peptide corresponding to QDPASTCVPEPASQH, from human WT1, at N-terminal (NP_000369.3, NP_077742.2).
Wilms Tumor (WT), a sporadic and familial childhood kidney tumor, is genetically heterogeneous. Wilms tumor is associated with mutations of WT1, a zinc-finger transcription factor that is essential for the development of the metanephric kidney and the urogenital system. The WT1 gene is normally expressed in fetal kidney and mesothelium, and its expression has been suggested as a marker for Wilms tumor and mesothelioma.
