Western blot - Anti-beta Catenin antibody [12F7] (AB22656)
Lane 1 : Wild type HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 2 : CTNNB1 knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 3 : HeLa whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 4 : A431 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
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.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-beta Catenin antibody [12F7] (AB22656)
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.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab22656 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab22656, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a decreased signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Tween used under the same conditions.

5Aza-induced changes in protein and mRNA levels of SFRP1 and β-catenin in PCa cell lines.A, LNCaP, DU145 and PC3 cells treated with or without 5Aza were collected and then subjected to Western blot analysis with anti-SFRP1 antibody. B, LNCaP, DU145 and PC3 cells treated with or without 5Aza were collected and then subjected to quantitative RT-PCR assay. The SFRP1 mRNA level of LNCaP cells was set to 1. C, LNCaP, DU145 and PC3 cells treated with or without 5Aza were collected and then subjected to Western blot analysis with anti-β-catenin antibody. D, LNCaP, DU145 and PC3 cells treated with or without 5Aza were collected and then subjected to quantitative RT-PCR assay. The β-catenin mRNA level of LNCaP cells was set to 1.

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.
