General description
β-catenin plays a central role in cell adhesion, bridging between cadherins and actin cytoskeleton. These activities are regulated through its differential interaction with several molecular partners, including cell-cell adherens junction (AJ) molecules, components of its degradation complex, and transcription factors.
β-Catenin is composed of three domains: a central armadillo repeat domain and two N- and C-terminal tails. β-catenin can be phosphorylated by serine-threonine kinase, such as GSK-3. The phosphorylated β-catenin affects the protein association of β-catenin to E-cadherin and α-cateinin that occurs in the cell. This process can be reversed by de-phosphorylation of β-catenin.

Specificity
Recognizes β-Catenin, Mr 92 kDa.
Immunogen
KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide (CGG-SYLDSGIHSGATTTAPSLSGK) corresponding to the consensus GSK3 phosphorylation site of human β -Catenin (amino acids 29-49).
Application
Immunoprecipitation:
5 μg of a previous lot immunoprecipitated β-Catenin from 500 μg of A431 membrane fraction lysate.
Immunocytochemistry:
1-5 μg/mL of a previous lot showed positive immunostaining for β-catenin at cell-cell junctions of A431 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution of this antibody detected beta-Catenin in A431 and HUVEC cell lines.
