α-连环蛋白抗体（钙粘蛋白相关蛋白）Catenin α产品介绍 The distinct peripheral cytosolic proteins, alpha, beta and gamma-catenin (102, 94 and 86 kDa) found in many tissues bind to the conserved cytoplasmic tail domain of the cell-adhesion cadherins. Catenins link E-cadherin to other integral membrane or cytoplasmic proteins and are modulated by Wnt-1 proto-oncogene. They are good candidates for mediating transduction of cell-cell contact positional signals to the cell interior. Absence of alpha-catenin is found in certain tumor cell lines and reduced levels in certain human carcinomas. Beta-catenin binds directly to the cytoplasmic tail of E-cadherin. It binds to the N-terminus of alpha-catenin and interacts with the protein product of the tumor suppressor gene APC. This interaction involves a 15-aa repeat in the APC. Beta-catenin cell levels seem to be controlled by APC. The central core region of beta-catenin is involved in mediation of cadherin-catenin complex interaction with EGFR.
Function : Associates with the cytoplasmic domain of a variety of cadherins. The association of catenins to cadherins produces a complex which is linked to the actin filament network, and which seems to be of primary importance for cadherins cell-adhesion properties. Can associate with both E- and N-cadherins. Originally believed to be a stable component of E-cadherin/catenin adhesion complexes and to mediate the linkage of cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton at adherens junctions. In contrast, cortical actin was found to be much more dynamic than E-cadherin/catenin complexes and CTNNA1 was shown not to bind to F-actin when assembled in the complex suggesting a different linkage between actin and adherens junctions components. The homodimeric form may regulate actin filament assembly and inhibit actin branching by competing with the Arp2/3 complex for binding to actin filaments. May play a crucial role in cell differentiation.
Subunit : Monomer and homodimer; the monomer preferentially binds to CTNNB1 and the homodimer to actin. Binds MLLT4 and F-actin. Possible component of an E-cadherin/ catenin adhesion complex together with E-cadherin/CDH1 and beta-catenin/CTNNB1 or gamma-catenin/JUP; the complex is located to adherens junctions. The stable association of CTNNA1 is controversial as CTNNA1 was shown not to bind to F-actin when assembled in the complex. Alternatively, the CTNNA1-containing complex may be linked to F-actin by other proteins such as LIMA1. Interacts with ARHGAP21 and with AJUBA. Interacts with LIMA1.
Subcellular Location : Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell junction, adherens junction. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction. Note=Found at cell-cell boundaries and probably at cell-matrix boundaries.
Tissue Specificity : Expressed ubiquitously in normal tissues.
Post-translational modifications : Sumoylated.
Similarity : Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.
Database links : UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: P35221.1
细胞粘附蛋白（Call Adhesion Protein）
α-catenin是一种多功能的蛋白质，能链接E-\N-\P-钙粘附分子,具有参与细胞粘附和介导信号转导的双重功能，并与肿瘤的发生发展及浸润密切相关。
在正常个体中，βα-catenin和钙黏蛋白形成复合体，介导同型细胞的粘附，维持细胞的稳定；同时，α-catenin作为Wnt/α-catenin信号通路的关键成员在介导信号转导过程中调控细胞的增殖和凋亡。
在恶性肿瘤中，α连环蛋白的表达呈现明显的异质性，促使细胞异常增殖，还可使细胞之间的黏附性减弱，侵袭性增强。
纯度：在实验的任何阶段，确定抗体溶液纯度的最简单方法是取一部分样本进行SDS-PAGE电泳。凝胶可用考马斯亮蓝染色(灵敏度为0.1—0.5ug/带)或银染(灵敏度1～l0ug/带)。
定量：如果抗体还不纯，有一个快捷的定量方法，即通过SDS-PAGE电泳分离出轻、重链，然后和已知的标准染色带比较。如果需要分析许多样本，用免疫测定法对抗体定量较容易。如果抗体是经过纯化的，可通过测蛋白总量代替上述两种方法，有一简单的方法，即紫外吸收法。α-连环蛋白抗体（钙粘蛋白相关蛋白）Catenin α的量可通过测280nm处的吸收值来测(10D大致相当于0.75mg/m1的纯化抗体)。
抗原结合活性：一般说来，纯化方法不会引起抗原结合活性的改变。用蛋白G或蛋白A树脂很少导致抗体活性丧失。然而，如果最终抗体产物的作用不如原来所预料的好，检测抗体纯化过程所丢失的活性就极为重要。用一系列滴定法比较纯化的抗体和其原材料的活性，以标定每一步中的总抗体量，这将有助于较好的估计通过纯化所丢失的活性。
