Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Cateninβ is a multifunctional protein, coded by CTNNB1 (cateninβ 1) gene. It is present in the intracellular side of the cytoplasmic membrane. It is located on human chromosome 3p22.1._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to the region that contains serine 33 of human β-catenin._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-phospho-β-Catenin (pSer33) antibody produced in mouse is suitable for microarray and western blotting at a concentration of 5μg/mL using total cell extracts of cultured HEK-293T cells treated with MG132._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Catenin (cadherin-associated protein), β 1 (88kDa) protein is encoded by CTNNB1 gene in humans. It is also called as β-catenin. It is a dual function protein that regulates the coordination of cell-cell adhesion and gene transcription. Human β-catenin is located at band p21 on chromosome 3._x000D_ Mutations in β-catenin results in retinal vascular condition FEVR (familial exudative vitreoretinopathy). It participates in stimulating disease progression, providing BCR–ABL (fusion gene) kinase-independent resistance and LSC (leukemic stem cell) self-renewal. CTNNB1 plays an important role in cell-to-cell adhesion and transcriptional modulation in the Wnt signalling pathway.
