Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab22656 observed at 95 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602, observed at 37 kDa.

ab22656 was shown to specifically react with CTNNB1 (beta-catenin) in wild-type HAP1 cells along with additional cross reactive bands. No band was observed when CTNNB1 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and CTNNB1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab22656 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 ug/ml and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216772 and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216777 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

IHC image of beta Catenin antibody staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human colon* performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab22656, 1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

Beta Catenin also known by names such as CTNNB1 or beta-chip is an important protein involved in cell signaling and adhesion. This protein has a molecular weight of around 88 kDa. Beta Catenin is expressed in many cell types and tissues indicating its widespread role in various biological processes. It functions mechanically by mediating the linkage between cadherins and the actin cytoskeleton facilitating cell-cell adhesion. Beta Catenin is also a central part of transcription regulation processes in the nucleus.
Biological function summary

This protein plays roles in both cell adhesion and the regulation of gene expression. Beta Catenin is a critical component of the Wnt signaling pathway where it can form complexes with other proteins to influence gene transcription. In the absence of Wnt signaling beta Catenin levels are low due to its degradation. However when the pathway is active it accumulates in the cytoplasm and eventually translocates to the nucleus where it interacts with TCF/LEF transcription factors to regulate the expression of target genes.

Pathways

Beta Catenin plays a central role in the Wnt signaling pathway and influences cell fate decisions and cellular proliferation. It acts in concert with proteins such as Dishevelled (DVL) and Axin to coordinate these important biological processes. In the absence of Wnt signaling proteins such as APC and GSK-3Β are responsible for beta Catenin degradation keeping its cellular levels in check. Beta Catenin’s interaction with transcription factors in the nucleus makes it pivotal in the regulation of cell and tissue homeostasis.

Beta Catenin has associations with colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Its dysregulation can lead to unchecked cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Often mutations in the beta Catenin gene (CTNNB1) or components of the Wnt pathway like APC are implicated in the development of these cancers. Its interplay with E-cadherin is important for maintaining tissue architecture and disruptions can lead to invasive cancer phenotypes. Understanding beta Catenin’s role provides insights into therapeutic strategies for these cancers.
