Description
Mouse monoclonal alpha Catenin antibody
Beta-catenin (or beta-catenin) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTNNB1 gene. In Drosophila, the homologous protein is called armadillo. beta-catenin is a subunit of the cadherin protein complex and has been implicated as an integral component in the Wnt signaling pathway. beta-Catenin is part of a complex of proteins that constitute adherens junctions (AJs). AJs are necessary for the creation and maintenance of epithelial cell layers by regulating cell growth and adhesion between cells. beta-Catenin also anchors the actin cytoskeleton and may be responsible for transmitting the contact inhibition signal that causes cells to stop dividing once the epithelial sheet is complete
