ab231306 staining CTNNA1 in A431 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1%PBS-Tween 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 overnight at +4°C with ab231306 at 5μg/ml and ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control, at 1/1000 dilution. Cells were then incubated with ab150117, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150084, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolor red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Western blot - Anti-CTNNA1 antibody [1G5] (AB231306)

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab231306).

ab231306 was shown to specifically react with CTNNA1 (α-catenin) in wild type HAP1 cells. No band was observed when CTNNA1 (α-catenin) knockout samples were used. Wild-type and CTNNA1 (α-catenin) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab231306 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1ug/ml concentraion and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Supplementary information

CTNNA1 also known as alpha-Catenin is an important protein that is involved in cell adhesion. With a molecular weight of about 100 kDa CTNNA1 functions mechanically by linking cadherins which are transmembrane proteins to the actin cytoskeleton in cells. This linkage strengthens cellular junctions and maintains the integrity of tissue architecture. CTNNA1 is widely expressed in epithelial tissues where strong cell-cell adhesion is important for maintaining tissue structure.
Biological function summary

CTNNA1 is important for maintaining cellular integrity and function. It is a part of the adherens junction complex which is critical for the creation of stable cell-cell junctions in tissues. Through the adherens junction it directly associates with E-cadherin and indirectly interacts with the actin cytoskeleton. This structural configuration allows epithelial cells to remain tightly connected facilitating signal transmission between cells for coordinated tissue functioning.

Pathways

CTNNA1 plays a significant role in the Wnt signaling pathway and the regulation of actin dynamics. In the Wnt pathway CTNNA1 is associated with cell fate determination and is known to interact with beta-catenin an important component of this signaling cascade. Additionally by influencing actin cytoskeleton organization CTNNA1 affects cell movement and signal transduction essential for processes like embryogenesis and wound healing.

Disruptions in CTNNA1 function have been linked to cancer and cardiomyopathy. The loss or mutation of CTNNA1 can lead to diminished cell adhesion promoting cancer cell invasion and metastasis often seen in gastric and breast cancers. Moreover its interaction with genes like KIF7 influences cardiomyopathy where structural cardiac tissue changes impair heart function. Understanding CTNNA1's role in these conditions can provide insight for potential therapeutic targets.

Target data

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 (By similarity). May play a crucial role in cell differentiation.
