General description

Monoclonal Anti-PLEKHA7 (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the hybridoma PLK7 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminal region of human PLEKHA7, conjugated to KLH. PLEKHA7 contains WW (rsp5-domain), PH (pleckstrin homology), and CC (coiled-coil) domains.
PLEKHA7 (Pleckstrin homology domain containing, family A member 7) is an adherens junction protein localized at the adherens junctions in colonic epithelial cells.

  • flow cytometry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Overexpression of PLEKHA7 was reported to be common in invasive lobular carcinomas (ILCs) and hence PLEKHA7 could serve as a molecular marker to differentiate ILCs from invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs).
PLEKHA7 (Pleckstrin homology domain containing, family A member 7) functions as a cytoplasmic component of the epithelial adherens junction belt, with a subcellular localization and tissue distribution and connects E-cadherin-p120 ctn complex to the microtubule cytoskeleton. It has been reported that PLEKHA7 acts as zonula adherens (ZA) component, identifies Nezha, which further binds to microtubules (MTs) of the cytoskeleton, and forms a protein complex during cytoskeleton assembly.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

The zonula adherens (ZA) is a specialized cadherin-based structure found at the contacts between epithelial cells. Meng et al. (2008) now identify a protein complex containing the microtubule minus-end-binding protein Nezha, which provides a critical link between microtubules and cadherins

The pleckstrin-homology-domain-containing protein PLEKHA7 was recently identified as a protein linking the E-cadherin-p120 ctn complex to the microtubule cytoskeleton. Here we characterize the expression, tissue distribution and subcellular localization of PLEKHA7 by immunoblotting, immunofluorescence microscopy, immunoelectron microscopy, and northern blotting

Epithelial cells contain noncentrosomal microtubules (MTs), whose minus ends are oriented apically. In contrast with the well-known interactions of the minus ends with the centrosome, little is known about the termination site of the noncentrosomal minus ends. Here we show
