Target

  • Function

    Tumor suppressor. Promotes rapid degradation of CTNNB1 and participates in Wnt signaling as a negative regulator. APC activity is correlated with its phosphorylation state. Activates the GEF activity of SPATA13 and ARHGEF4. Plays a role in hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-induced cell migration. Required for MMP9 up-regulation via the JNK signaling pathway in colorectal tumor cells. Acts as a mediator of ERBB2-dependent stabilization of microtubules at the cell cortex. It is required for the localization of MACF1 to the cell membrane and this localization of MACF1 is critical for its function in microtubule stabilization.
  • Tissue specificity

    Expressed in a variety of tissues.
  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in APC are a cause of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) [MIM:175100]; which includes also Gardner syndrome (GS). FAP and GS contribute to tumor development in patients with uninherited forms of colorectal cancer. FAP is characterized by adenomatous polyps of the colon and rectum, but also of upper gastrointestinal tract (ampullary, duodenal and gastric adenomas). This is a viciously premalignant disease with one or more polyps progressing through dysplasia to malignancy in untreated gene carriers with a median age at diagnosis of 40 years.
    Defects in APC are a cause of hereditary desmoid disease (HDD) [MIM:135290]; also known as familial infiltrative fibromatosis (FIF). HDD is an autosomal dominant trait with 100% penetrance and possible variable expression among affected relatives. HDD patients show multifocal fibromatosis of the paraspinal muscles, breast, occiput, arms, lower ribs, abdominal wall, and mesentery. Desmoid tumors appears also as a complication of familial adenomatous polyposis.
    Defects in APC are a cause of medulloblastoma (MDB) [MIM:155255]. MDB is a malignant, invasive embryonal tumor of the cerebellum with a preferential manifestation in children. Although the majority of medulloblastomas occur sporadically, some manifest within familial cancer syndromes such as Turcot syndrome and basal cell nevus syndrome (Gorlin syndrome).
    Defects in APC are a cause of mismatch repair cancer syndrome (MMRCS) [MIM:276300]; also known as Turcot syndrome or brain tumor-polyposis syndrome 1 (BTPS1). MMRCS is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by malignant tumors of the brain associated with multiple colorectal adenomas. Skin features include sebaceous cysts, hyperpigmented and cafe au lait spots.
    Defects in APC are a cause of gastric cancer (GASC) [MIM:613659]; also called gastric cancer intestinal or stomach cancer. Gastric cancer is a malignant disease which starts in the stomach, can spread to the esophagus or the small intestine, and can extend through the stomach wall to nearby lymph nodes and organs. It also can metastasize to other parts of the body. The term gastric cancer or gastric carcinoma refers to adenocarcinoma of the stomach that accounts for most of all gastric malignant tumors. Two main histologic types are recognized, diffuse type and intestinal type carcinomas. Diffuse tumors are poorly differentiated infiltrating lesions, resulting in thickening of the stomach. In contrast, intestinal tumors are usually exophytic, often ulcerating, and associated with intestinal metaplasia of the stomach, most often observed in sporadic disease.
    Defects in APC are a cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [MIM:114550]. This defect includes also the disease entity termed hepatoblastoma.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) family.
    Contains 7 ARM repeats.
  • Domain

    The microtubule tip localization signal (MtLS) motif; mediates interaction with MAPRE1 and targeting to the growing microtubule plus ends.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylated by GSK3B.
    Ubiquitinated, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitination is facilitated by Axin. Deubiquitinated by ZRANB1/TRABID.
  • Cellular localization

    Cell junction > adherens junction. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Cell projection > lamellipodium. Cell projection > ruffle membrane. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Associated with the microtubule network at the growing distal tip of microtubules. Accumulates in the lamellipodium and ruffle membrane in response to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) treatment. The MEMO1-RHOA-DIAPH1 signaling pathway controls localization of the phosophorylated form to the cell membrane.

Question

Hi,
Could you help me by performing a BLASTp of the recognized epitope
(I know it is propietary) by your anti-APC [EP701Y] (ab40778) and the bovine APC
(uniprot Q1RMK3) and send me the results as % max ident, number of gaps, as well as a possible recommendation for using this antibody to detect the
cattle APC, please?

Asked on Apr 10 2012

Answer

The exact immunogen shares 100% identity with bovine APC, so the antibody is
predicted to cross-react with bovine protein, although we have not tested this reactivity yet.
I hope this is helpful. Please contact me again if you have any further questions.

Question

we recently purchased your EMM43 APC monoclonal antibody (made in mouse) to reproduce our lates findings. We are soon ready to publish data using your antibodies, but we wonder if there is a chance of letting us know the peptide sequence of the immunizing peptide for this antibody (EMM43)? Since it is directed against the C-terminal of human APC, if the epitope lies within exon 15 it might not pick up the 160 kDa splice form discussed in previous mails (which your exon3-targeting EP701Y does!). This info is vital to our discussion, please let us know if you can assist us in this precious matter. If you cannot give us the sequence, is it perchance possible to give us information concerning which exon/s is/are targeted?

Question

I believe what caused this e-mail exchange between us in the first place is your data sheet. First of all, your data sheets are usually flawless - with recommended dilutions, gel and IHC pictures and so forth which most companies exclude from theirs. However, this data sheet was a bit confusing regarding your WB image using the EP701Y antibody. We have managed to get three bands, two closely linked at 300 kDa, of which one is slightly bigger than the other in size, as well as the 160 kDa band. Your data sheet suggest that the "expected band size" of APC using this anitbody is 160 kDa. When I looked it up in the litterature, we figured that your antibody is targeting exon 3 of human APC, hence discovering NOT ONLY this unknown APC splice variant, but ALSO full length APC as well as isoform 2 (short) of 304 kDa. So I think you need to state this more clearly, since I was worried your antibody was ONLY detecting isoform 2 (short) which made no sense to me after reviewing the litterature. I can e-mail you the WB used with longer running time to separate the 300 kDa isoforms in higher resolution, but first after we have published the data. So, you have quite a precious antibody which detects all three forms of APC - and hence the loss of all three in tumor material would suggest certain inactivation patterns that is not possible using antibodies directing at other parts of APC, thus missing out on info regarding the 160 kDa variant - with unknown properties. I think it would be wise of you to state this, but that is merely the opinion of one young and fairly unexperienced researcher.Best regards, looking forward to more collaborations in the future,

Question

I disagree with removing the antibody from the stock, since it is directed at exon 3 and hence detects 160 kDa (alternative splicing) as well as full length APC (311) and isoform 2 (304 kDa) - I've confirmed these results with additional experiments! So your clone still is very valueable to us, and I do not want any refund! This is in agreement with several other companies providing this clone. The only thing that needs to be changed (according to my novice experience) is the data sheet which is somewhat confusing, regarding expected bands. You too have visible bands in the 300 kDa region. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&cmd=search&term=APC%20160%20kDa (for more info. concerning why your ab detects 160 kDa)Best wishes and thaks for excellent service,

Answer

Thank you for getting back to me. I am glad to hear that you managed to obtain satisfactory results with this product. I have checked the datasheets of other companies supplying this clone and it seems that our information are similar. Please forgive me for I do not know which part of our datasheet that is confusing? Is it the part that states the molecular weight to be 160kDa? Although this product is expected to detect the isoform 2 based on sequence analysis, but the actual band sizes that we obtain was around 160kDa and 250kDa. This 160kDa band is a spliced variant and we are not sure about the 250kDa band. This product is one of our good sellers and we have not received any complaints. If there is any information that you think is misleading, I would certainly like to hear more about it from you. If you should need anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me. Have a nice day.
