The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-CTNNA1 antibody (ABIN7234862) specifically detects CTNNA1 in WB, IHC and ELISA.
The antibody is reactive with Human and Mouse samples.
Catenin alpha-1is aproteinthat in humans is encoded by theCTNNA1gene. 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 mucHuman, Mouseore 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.
