• Application Notes: This product has been tested for use in ELISA, western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and ISH. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 85.5 kDa in size corresponding to catenin beta-1 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.

Reactivity Notes

A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with beta Catenin protein from human, mouse, rat, bovine, Xenopus laevis, and Danio rerio at 100% based on homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

Background

The protein encoded by the beta Catenin gene is part of a complex of proteins that constitute adherens junctions (AJs). AJs arenecessary for the creation and maintenance of epithelial cell layers by regulating cell growth and adhesion betweencells. The encoded protein also anchors the actin cytoskeleton and may be responsible for transmitting the contactinhibition signal that causes cells to stop dividing once the epithelial sheet is complete. Finally, this proteinbinds to the product of the APC gene, which is mutated in adenomatous polyposis of the colon. Mutations in this geneare a cause of colorectal cancer (CRC), pilomatrixoma (PTR), medulloblastoma (MDB), and ovarian cancer. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
