General description
Anti-β-Catenin-Cy3 antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the 15B8 hybridoma, produced by fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant chicken catenin. β-catenin is 92 kDa. β-catenin protein is composed of a series of protein-protein interaction motifs that allow it to function as a scaffold. The N-terminus domain contains the binding site for β-catenin as well as phosphorylation sites recognized by Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) and the C-terminus contains the transcriptional activation domain and binding site for Teashirt.
The gene β-catenin (CTNNB1) is mapped to human chromosome 3p21. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and the nucleus. β-catenin is also present at the centrosomes.
Specificity
Recognizes specifically mammalian and avian β-catenin. Does not cross-react with plakoglobin (γ-catenin).
Immunogen
recombinant chicken β-catenin.
Application
Anti-β-Catenin-Cy3 antibody has been used in
- direct immunofluorescence
- western blotting
- staining
- immunohistochemistry
Suitable for direct immunofluorescence at a dilution of 1:100 using methanol/acetone-fixed bovine MDBK/MCF-7 cells. The antiobody has been used for western blot analysis in mouse embryonic stem cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Catenin (cadherin-associated protein) β 1 also called β-catenin is encoded by the CTNNB1 gene in humans. It is a dual function protein that regulates the coordination of cell-cell adhesion and gene transcription. It is useful for differential diagnosis of osteoblastoma (OB) and osteosarcoma (OS). β-catenin signaling pathway may contribute to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cell proliferation. It may serve as a prognostic marker for CCA progression and provide a potential target for CCA therapy. Mutations in β-catenin are associated with ovarian carcinoma. In addition, mutations in β-catenin are linked to intellectual disability. NEK2 (Never in mitosis A-related kinase 2) binds and phosphorylates β-catenin, thereby regulating centrosome seperation. Focal adhesion protein, Kindlin-2, enhances WNT signaling by forming a transcriptional complex with β-catenin.

Recently, de novo heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in beta-catenin (CTNNB1) were described for the first time in four individuals with intellectual disability (ID), microcephaly, limited speech and (progressive) spasticity, and functional consequences of CTNNB1 deficiency were characterized in a mouse model.

Osteoblastoma (OB) and osteosarcoma (OS) are 2 bone tumors that predominantly affect young adults. The clinical management of OS differs significantly from that of OB, and thus, accurate diagnosis of OB and OS is critical in determining appropriate treatment modality.

beta-Catenin plays important roles in cell adhesion and gene transcription, and has been shown recently to be essential for the establishment of a bipolar mitotic spindle. Here we show that beta-catenin is a component of interphase centrosomes and that stabilization
