Overview
Catalog # bs-70378r
Product Name _1-Catenin (Tyr-148), Phosphospecific Antibody
Applications WB
Specificity This antibody was cross-adsorbed to unrelated phospho-tyrosine peptide before affinity purification using phospho-_1-Catenin (Tyr-148) peptide (without carrier). The antibody detects a 102 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of _1-Catenin on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of rat PC12 cells treated with pervanadate. This peptide sequence is highly conserved in rat and mouse _1-Catenin, but is not conserved in _2-Catenin or _3-Catenin.
Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat, Chicken

Background _-catenins are cadherin interacting proteins with homology to vinculin. Three _-catenin genes have been described including _1-catenin (_E-Catenin), _2-catenin (_N-catenin), and _3-catenin (_T-catenin). _1-catenin has 81% homology with _2-catenin and 60% homology with _3-catenin. These _-catenin isoforms may have similar roles since each binds cadherins. However, their expression patterns are both overlapping and distinct. _1-catenin was identified in epithelial cells, and is expressed in various cell types. _2-catenin is enriched in the nervous system, and _3-catenin is expressed highest in testis and heart. Phosphorylation may regulate the activity of _1-catenin, since tyrosine phosphorylation of Tyr-148 occurs during intercellular adhesion. This site is dephosphorylated by SHP2, which inhibits _1-catenin binding to _-catenin and translocation to the plasma membrane. Phosphorylation of _1-catenin at Tyr-148 may be important for inhibition of cell transformation, and dephosphorylation of this site may be important during SHP2-mediated cell transformation.
