Function
Component of the beta-catenin destruction complex required for regulating CTNNB1 levels through phosphorylation and ubiquitination, and modulating Wnt-signaling (PubMed:12192039, PubMed:27098453). Controls dorsoventral patterning via two opposing effects; down-regulates CTNNB1 to inhibit the Wnt signaling pathway and ventralize embryos, but also dorsalizes embryos by activating a Wnt-independent JNK signaling pathway (PubMed:12192039). In Wnt signaling, probably facilitates the phosphorylation of CTNNB1 and APC by GSK3B (PubMed:12192039). Likely to function as a tumor suppressor. Enhances TGF-beta signaling by recruiting the RNF111 E3 ubiquitin ligase and promoting the degradation of inhibitory SMAD7 (PubMed:16601693). Also component of the AXIN1-HIPK2-TP53 complex which controls cell growth, apoptosis and development (PubMed:17210684). Facilitates the phosphorylation of TP53 by HIPK2 upon ultraviolet irradiation (PubMed:17210684).

Notes
While the standard is the same as the one provided in the corresponding SimpleStep ELISA Kit, it cannot be treated as the consumable provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kit due to differences in its concentration calibration.
Abcam guarantee that this protein standard is suitable for use in a sandwich ELISA. Individual results may vary due to differences in technique, laboratory equipment, buffers, and other experimental factors. The detection range provided for this protein standard is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data.
The protein concentration is the concentration after validation on our sandwich ELISA platform. This Standard protein is guaranteed to work with our Capture and Detector antibodies in sELISA. Please contact our Scientific Supportteam to know which antibody pair is suitable for this protein.
Supplementary info
- Activity summary
Axin 1 alternatively known simply as axin is an important protein involved in cell signaling processes with a molecular weight of approximately 94 kDa. Axin 1 serves as a scaffold protein that plays a critical role in various signaling pathways. It shows expression in multiple tissues including the brain liver and kidney which indicates its involvement in various physiological processes. Due to its structural and functional properties axin 1 can be visualized and studied effectively even through techniques such as western blot.
- Biological function summary
Axin 1 functions as a negative regulator within the Wnt signaling pathway by forming a destruction complex with other proteins. This complex is important in the degradation of beta-catenin thereby preventing excessive activation of Wnt target genes. It interacts with several components such as adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) to facilitate these functions. The presence of axin 1 maintains the balance of signaling dynamics ensuring that cell proliferation and differentiation proceed correctly.
- Pathways
Axin 1 plays a significant role in the control of the Wnt and JNK signaling pathways. Within the Wnt pathway it partners with proteins such as APC and GSK3β to regulate beta-catenin levels ensuring proper signal transduction. In the JNK pathway axin 1's interactions influence cell response to stress through modulation of signaling cascades. Its involvement in these pathways illustrates how axin 1 acts as a central component in cellular communication and response strategies.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Axin 1 associates with several conditions including colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Dysregulation of axin 1's function or expression can lead to aberrant Wnt signaling which is a pivotal factor in tumorigenesis linked with these cancers. Moreover proteins like beta-catenin and APC which interact with axin 1 also play a role in the progression of these diseases. Understanding axin 1's role provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies that target these pathways for effective treatment approaches.
