Specificity / Sensitivity

Each antibody in this kit recognizes only its specific target and does not cross-react with other family members.

Description

The β-Catenin Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means of detecting total β-catenin as well as β-catenin phosphorlylated at various residues. The kit contains enough primary and secondary antibody to perform four Western blots with each antibody.

Source / Purification

β-Catenin (6B3) Rabbit mAb (#9582) was produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the carboxy terminus of human β-catenin. Phospho-specific antibodies (#9561, #9565, #9566, and #9567) were produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to their respective phophorylated residues of human β-catenin. Polyclonal antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

β-catenin is a key downstream effector in the Wnt signaling pathway (1). It is implicated in two major biological processes in vertebrates: early embryonic development (2) and tumorigenesis (3). CK1 phosphorylates β-catenin at Ser45. This phosphorylation event primes β-catenin for subsequent phosphorylation by GSK-3 (4-6). GSK-3β destabilizes β-catenin by phosphorylating it at Ser33, Ser37, and Thr41 (7). Mutations at these sites result in the stabilization of β-catenin protein levels and have been found in many tumor cell lines (8).

Both Akt and PKA were shown to phosphorylate β-catenin at Ser552 and Ser675. Phosphorylation at Ser552 and Ser675 induces β-catenin accumulation in the nucleus and increases its transcriptional activity (9-12).
