Target data

Function

Common junctional plaque protein. The membrane-associated plaques are architectural elements in an important strategic position to influence the arrangement and function of both the cytoskeleton and the cells within the tissue. The presence of plakoglobin in both the desmosomes and in the intermediate junctions suggests that it plays a central role in the structure and function of submembranous plaques. Acts as a substrate for VE-PTP and is required by it to stimulate VE-cadherin function in endothelial cells. Can replace beta-catenin in E-cadherin/catenin adhesion complexes which are proposed to couple cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton (By similarity).

Activity summary

Gamma Catenin also known as Junction Plakoglobin (JUP) is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 82 kDa. It plays an important role in cell adhesion mechanisms. This protein is expressed widely in various tissue types prominently in epithelial tissues. Gamma Catenin contributes significantly to the structure of adherens junctions and desmosomes physically connecting cells to one another and stabilizing those connections within tissues.

Biological function summary

Gamma Catenin is an integral component of the armadillo family of proteins and part of desmosomal and adherens junction complexes. It plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity and mechanical strength of tissues. Through interacting with other proteins in these complexes gamma Catenin facilitates cell signaling and communication. It associates with cadherins and catenins including plakophilin and β-catenin to ensure proper cell-cell adhesion and signaling across the cell membrane.

Pathways

Gamma Catenin is involved in the Wnt signaling pathway an important route governing cellular processes such as proliferation differentiation and migration. Gamma Catenin interacts with β-catenin in this pathway influencing transcriptional regulation in the nucleus. It also plays roles in the cadherin-mediated cell adhesion pathway working alongside other proteins like E-cadherin to modulate cell behavior. These pathways highlight its importance in cellular architecture and signaling.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in gamma Catenin expression or function relate to conditions such as heart diseases specifically arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and cancer particularly affecting epithelial tissues. In these conditions abnormal gamma Catenin interactions with other junction proteins like desmoplakin and plakophilin contribute to disease progression. These disruptions suggest its potential as a therapeutic target providing insight into disease mechanisms and opportunities for intervention.

    Western blot - Anti-gamma Catenin antibody [11E4] (ab231304)

    This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 55 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was blocked for an hour using 3% milk before ab231304 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1ug/ml concentration and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

    ab231304 staining gamma Catenin 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 ab231304 at 1μg/ml and Anti-beta Tubulin antibody - Loading Control ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control, at 1/1000 dilution.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-gamma Catenin antibody [11E4] (ab231304)

    IHC image of gamma Catenin staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human cervix* performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F. 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 ab231304, 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. The inset secondary-only 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.
