Product Summary for p120-catenin Antibody (rCTNND1/6903) - Azide and BSA Free

Immunogen

Recombinant fragment (around aa868-968) of human p120-catenin (exact sequence is proprietary) (Uniprot: O60716)

Localization

Cell Surface, Cytoplasm

Specificity

Alpha-catenin and beta-catenin bind to the intracellular domain of E-cadherin while p120 catenin binds E-cadherin at a juxta-membrane site. The complex stabilizes tight junctions. In the cell, p120 catenin localized to the E-cadherin/catenins cell adhesion complex, directly associates with cytoplasmic C-terminus of E-cadherin and may similarly interact with other cadherins. p120 is a proliferation-associated nucleolar protein found in most human malignant tumors, but not in resting normal cells. In colorectal cancer the altered localization of p120 catenin corresponds with loss of cytoplasmic localization of E-cadherin. Studies have shown accurate categorization of ductal vs. lobular neoplasia in the breast was achieved with p120 staining. p120 expression further clarifies the separation of low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ from lobular neoplasia. Studies also have shown that altered expression of p120 catenin antibody predicts poor outcome in invasive breast cancer.

Background: p120-catenin

The alpha, beta, delta, and gamma -catenins are proteins that bind to the highly conserved, intracellular cytoplasmic tail of E-cadherin. Together, the catenin/cadherin complexes play an important role mediating cellular adhesion. alpha-catenin, a 102 kDa protein, interacts with E-cadherin associated protein, and also associates with other members of the cadherin family, such as N-cadherin and P-cadherin. The 92 kDa beta-catenin associates with the cytoplasmic portion of E-cadherin, which is necessary for the function of E-cadherin as an adhesion molecule. beta-catenin also complexes with the tumor suppressor protein APC. delta-catenin interacts with Presenilin 1 and is expressed in the brain. The gene encoding delta-catenin maps to human chromosome 5p15.2. A hemizygous loss of the gene encoding delta-catenin leads to the mental retardation associated with Cri-du-Chat syndrome. gamma-catenin, also known as plakoglobin, is an 80-88 kDa protein that binds alpha-catenin and N-cadherin. In addition, the transmembrane phosphatase PTPm associates with catenin/cadherin complexes and may regulate complex signaling.
