The catenins, alpha, beta and gamma, are proteins which bind to the highly conserved,intracellular cytoplasmic tail of E-cadherin. Together, the catenin/cadherincomplexes play an important role mediating cellular adhesion. alpha-catenin was initially described as an E-cadherin associated protein, and since has been shown to associate with other members of the cadherin family, such as N-cadherin and P-cadherin. 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 has also been found in complexes with the tumor suppressor protein APC. gamma-catenin, also known as plakoglobin, binds with alpha-catenin and N-cadherin. It has been shown that the transmembrane phosphatase PTPµ associates with catenin/cadherin complexes and may regulate complex signaling.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
