N-Term |
| Specificity: |
The antibody detects a 102 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of Alpha 1-Catenin on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of rat PC12 and mouse SYF cells. |
| Immunogen: |
Alpha 1-Catenin synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues from the N-terminal region of human Alpha 1-Catenin. This peptide sequence is highly conserved in rat and mouse Alpha 1-Catenin, and has some homology to Alpha 2- |
| Tissue Specificity | Isoform 1: Ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues. Isoform 3: Abundantly expressed in brain and cerebellum, also expressed in the placenta, liver, lung, colon, heart, pancreas, stomach and thymus. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Sumoylated. Phosphorylation seems to contribute to the strength of cell-cell adhesion rather than to the basic capacity for cell-cell adhesion. |
| Function | Associates with the cytoplasmic domain of a variety of cadherins. The association of catenins to cadherins produces a complex which is linked to the actin filament network, and which seems to be of primary importance for cadherins cell-adhesion properties. Can associate with both E- and N-cadherins. Originally believed to be a stable component of E-cadherin/catenin adhesion complexes and to mediate the linkage of cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton at adherens junctions. In contrast, cortical actin was found to be much more dynamic than E-cadherin/catenin complexes and CTNNA1 was shown not to bind to F-actin when assembled in the complex suggesting a different linkage between actin and adherens junctions components. The homodimeric form may regulate actin filament assembly and inhibit actin branching by competing with the Arp2/3 complex for binding to actin filaments. Involved in the regulation of WWTR1/TAZ, YAP1 and TGFB1-dependent SMAD2 and SMAD3 nuclear accumulation. May play a crucial role in cell differentiation. |
