Key downstream component of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway (PubMed:17524503, PubMed:18077326, PubMed:18086858, PubMed:18957423, PubMed:21262353, PubMed:22155184, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:22699938). In the absence of Wnt, forms a complex with AXIN1, AXIN2, APC, CSNK1A1 and GSK3B that promotes phosphorylation on N-terminal Ser and Thr residues and ubiquitination of CTNNB1 via BTRC and its subsequent degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:17524503, PubMed:18077326, PubMed:18086858, PubMed:18957423, PubMed:21262353, PubMed:22155184, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:22699938). In the presence of Wnt ligand, CTNNB1 is not ubiquitinated and accumulates in the nucleus, where it acts as a coactivator for transcription factors of the TCF/LEF family, leading to activate Wnt responsive genes (PubMed:17524503, PubMed:18077326, PubMed:18086858, PubMed:18957423, PubMed:21262353, PubMed:22155184, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:22699938). Involved in the regulation of cell adhesion, as component of an E-cadherin:catenin adhesion complex (By similarity). Acts as a negative regulator of centrosome cohesion (PubMed:18086858). Involved in the CDK2/PTPN6/CTNNB1/CEACAM1 pathway of insulin internalization (PubMed:21262353). Blocks anoikis of malignant kidney and intestinal epithelial cells and promotes their anchorage-independent growth by down-regulating DAPK2 (PubMed:18957423). Disrupts PML function and PML-NB formation by inhibiting RANBP2-mediated sumoylation of PML (PubMed:22155184). Promotes neurogenesis by maintaining sympathetic neuroblasts within the cell cycle (By similarity). Involved in chondrocyte differentiation via interaction with SOX9: SOX9-binding competes with the binding sites of TCF/LEF within CTNNB1, thereby inhibiting the Wnt signaling (By similarity). Acts as a positive regulator of odontoblast differentiation during mesenchymal tooth germ formation, via promoting the transcription of differentiation factors such as LEF1, BMP2 and BMP4 (By similarity). Activity is repressed in a MSX1-mediated manner at the bell stage of mesenchymal tooth germ formation which prevents premature differentiation of odontoblasts (By similarity).

Beta Catenin Western blot staining using rabbit Anti-beta Catenin antibody
ab223075 was shown to react with Anti-beta Catenin in wild-type HCT 116 cells in western blot with loss of signal observed in CTNNB1 knockout cell line Human CTNNB1 knockout HCT116 cell line ab273712 (CTNNB1 knockout cell lysate Human CTNNB1 (beta Catenin) knockout HCT116 cell lysate ab275247). Wild-type and CTNNB1 knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in fluoroscent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution 50% (v/v) in TBS-T (0.1% Tween®) before incubation with ab223075 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

ab223075 staining β-Catenin in wild-type HAP1 cells (top panel) and CTNNB1 (β-Catenin) knockout HAP1 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab223075 at 0.05μg/ml and Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195889 at 1/250 dilution (shown in red) overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor 488) (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
IHC image of CTNNB1 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human colon (normal)*, performed on a Leica BondTM. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins, before blocking of endogenous biotin using Avidin/Biotin Blocking Kit ab64212. The section was then incubated with ab223075, 0.25ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset negative control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
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.

Beta Catenin Western blot staining using rabbit Anti-beta Catenin antibody
False colour image of Western blot: Anti-beta Catenin antibody [IGX4794R-3] staining at 1 ug/ml, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab223075 was shown to bind specifically to beta Catenin. A band was observed at 95 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CTNNB1 knockout cell line Human CTNNB1 knockout HCT116 cell line ab273712 (knockout cell lysate Human CTNNB1 (beta Catenin) knockout HCT116 cell lysate ab275247). The band observed in the knockout lysate lane below 95 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of beta Catenin. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and CTNNB1 knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed.First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes.
