Plakoglobin is a desmosomal protein that regulates developmental signalling in vertebrates. Tyrosine phosphorylation of plakoglobin has been linked to adenocarcinomas . Plakoglobin may function as a tumor suppressor in ovarian and breast cancers .
Specificity
The antibody recognizes the plakoglobin (catenin-γ) molecule (85 kDa and possibly a slightly lower band) by immunoblotting. It does not cross-react with β-catenin. The antibody reacts with plakoglobin in bovines, humans and dogs, but does not react with β catenin.
Immunogen
recombinant chicken plakoglobin.
Application
Monoclonal anti-plakoglobin (catenin γ) antibody is suitable for use in immunocytochemistry (using MDCK cells), immunoprecipitation, and in immunoblotting . The antibody may also be used for immunohistochemistry (frozen sections), microarray, western blot (1:500, using cultured MDBK cells) and indirect immunofluorescence (1:1000, using cultured MDBK cells).

The effect of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on cadherin-mediated adhesion of human carcinoma cells was studied. HGF/SF induced scattering of colonic adenocarcinoma HT29 and gastric adenocarcinomas MKN7 and MKN74 cells. Likewise, EGF induced scattering
The purpose of this study was to assess the phenotype of Filamin C (FLNC) truncating variants in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and understand the mechanism leading to an arrhythmogenic phenotype. Mutations in FLNC are known to lead to skeletal myopathies, which

The gene encoding human plakoglobin was mapped to chromosome 17q12-q22. An intragenic restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to localize the plakoglobin gene distal to locus KRT10 and proximal to the marker D17S858. The plakoglobin gene colocalizes with the polymorphic

The diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is challenging especially in children at risk of adverse events. Analysis of cardiac myocyte junctional protein distribution may have diagnostic and prognostic implications, but its utility is limited by the need for a myocardial

p120cas is a tyrosine kinase substrate implicated in ligand-induced receptor signaling through the epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and colony-stimulating factor receptors and in cell transformation by Src. Here we report that p120 associates with a complex containing E-cadherin
