Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of Beta-Catenin (CTNNB1). The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
β-Catenin, also known as CTNNB1, is an evolutionarily conserved, multifunctional intracellular protein. β-Catenin was originally identified in cell adherens junctions (AJs) where it functions to bridge the cytoplasmic domain of cadherins to a-catenin and the actin cytoskeleton. Besides its essential role in the AJs, β-catenin is also a key downstream component of the canonical Wnt pathway that plays diverse and critical roles in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is also involved in the activation of other intracellular messengers such as calcium fluxes, JNK, and SRC kinases. Deregulation of β-catenin activity is associated with multiple diseases including cancers.
