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
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a familial cardiac disease associated with ventricular arrhythmias and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Currently, there are no approved treatments that address the underlying genetic cause of this disease, representing a significant

Cell-to-extracellular matrix adhesion is regulated by a multitude of pathways initiated distally to the core cell-matrix adhesion machinery, such as via growth factor signaling. In contrast to these extrinsically sourced pathways, we now identify a regulatory pathway that is intrinsic

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
