Description

General description

Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) is a tumor suppressor gene. The APC gene encodes a large multifunctional protein that has critical functions in cell migration, adhesion and proliferation. It is a shuttling nucleo-cytoplasmic protein expressed in various tissues and its expression in the colorectal epithelium contributes to its normal growth and differentiation.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminal region of human APC, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in human APC isoform b and highly conserved (single amino acid substitution) in rat and mouse APC.

Application

Anti-APC (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunofluorescence
• immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) has a key role in the proteasome-mediated degradation of β-catenin. APC mutations cause accumulation of β-catenin in the nucleus leading to activation of LEF-1 and/or TCF, and the induction of target genes such as the oncogene c-myc. It is involved in regulation of mitotic chromosome separation and stability.

Physical form
