Background: beta-catenin (cadherin-associated protein beta, 88 kDa) is a dual function protein, regulating the coordination of cell-cell adhesion and gene transcription via the Wnt signaling pathway. Mutations and overexpression of beta-catenin are associated with many cancers, including hepatocellular, colorectal, lung, breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers. MyBioSource's rat beta-catenin ELISA Kit is based on the standard principle of a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Rat beta-catenin antibody is coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and test samples are added to the wells and beta-catenin present in a sample is bound by the immobilized antibody. An HRP-conjugate reagent is added subsequently. After washing away the unbound antibody/HRP conjugates, HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow color is proportional to the rat beta-catenin captured onto the plate. This ELISA kit shows no species cross-reactivity. Detection Range: 5 - 240 ng/L.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene 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. The encoded protein 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. Finally, this protein binds to the product of the APC gene, which is mutated in adenomatous polyposis of the colon. Mutations in this gene are a cause of colorectal cancer (CRC), pilomatrixoma (PTR), medulloblastoma (MDB), and ovarian cancer. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Uniprot Description
CTNNB1: a regulator of cell adhesion and a key downstream effector in the Wnt signaling pathway. Implicated early embryonic development and tumorigenesis. Phosphorylated and destabilized by CK1 and GSK-3beta. Stabilized cytoplasmic beta-catenin is a hallmark of a variety of cancers. Stabilized beta-catenin translocates to the nucleus, where it acts as a transcriptional activator of T-cell factor (TCF)-regulated genes. Interacts with the PDZ domain of TAX1BP3, inhibiting its transcriptional activity. Two alternatively spliced human isoforms have been described.

Product Notes
The Rat beta-catenin ctnnb1 (Catalog #AAA843456) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA843456 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat beta-catenin. Application- Quantitative detection of beta-catenin, establishing normal range. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the beta-catenin ctnnb1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "beta-catenin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
