| E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein responsible for physical connection of epithelial cells through Ca(2+)-binding regions in its extracellular domain. E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion is effected by 3 cytoplasmic proteins known as catenins alpha, beta, and gamma. These catenins are thought to work as connectors that anchor the E-cadherin to the cytoskeletal actin bundle through the cadherin cytoplasmic domain. a-catenin, a cadherin-associated protein, links cadherin/beta-catenin and cadherin/plakoglobin complexes to the actin cytoskeleton.Thus it is required for the function of cadherins, cell adhesion molecules.The gene for a-catenin is mapped to 5q31. Pathological role of a-catenin has been observed in human myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is expressed ubiquitously in normal tissues. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two isoforms have been identified. | | | Catalog # | C2069-40Q | | Applications | Suitable for use in Western Blot.
