Whole cell extracts (15 µg total protein) from HaCaT and MCF7 (positive controls), and U87-MG and MOLT-4 (negative control) cells were resolved by 4-12% Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with 1.0 μg/mL (1:500 dilution) purified anti-γ-Catenin antibody (clone 15F11) overnight at 4°C. Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence detection using HRP goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Cat. No. 405306) at a 1:3000 dilution. Western-Ready™ ECL Substrate Premium Kit (Cat. No. 426319) was used as a detection agent. Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-GAPDH antibody (Cat. No. 607904) was used as a loading control at a 1:25000 dilution (lower). Lane M: Molecular weight marker. -
IHC staining of purified anti-γ-Catenin antibody (clone 15F11) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human skin (panel A, positive control) and adipose (panel B, negative control) tissues. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R (Cat. No. 928502), the tissue was incubated with 5 µg/mL (1:100 dilution) of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. BioLegend’s Ultra Streptavidin HRP Kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929501) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. Scale bar: 50 µm. -
MOLT-4 cells (negative control) (panel A) and MCF7 cells (positive control) (panel B) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with Triton X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 60 minutes. Cells were then intracellularly stained with purified anti-γ-Catenin antibody (clone 15F11) overnight at 4°C followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 594 goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Cat. No. 405326) at 2.0 µg/mL. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and the image was captured with a 60X objective. -
MCF7 cells (filled histogram, positive control) and U-87 MG cells (open histogram, negative control) were fixed with Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801), permeabilized using True-Phos™ Perm Buffer (Cat. No. 425401), and intracellularly stained with purified anti-γ-catenin antibody (clone 15F11) followed by PE goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Cat. No. 405307).

γ-catenin, also referred to as JUP and plakoglobin, is a member of the Armadillo family of proteins that are required for Wnt signaling. γ-catenin was originally described as a structural component of desmosomes and adherens junctions, where it links E-cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton. The presence of this complex is critical for cell migration and adhesion. While γ-catenin shows high overall similarity to the homolologous β-catenin, notably in the armadillo domain rich central region, γ-catenin has distinct N- and C-terminal regions, which allows interaction with protein partners functionally distinct with those of other catenins. Additionally, γ-catenin shows tumor suppressor activity by downregulation of oncogenic Wnt signaling. This negative regulation occurs through multiple mechanisms: a. displacement of β-catenin from junctional complexes thereby promoting its ubiquitin-dependent degradation, b. disrupting formation of the TCF- β-catenin transcriptional activator complex by directly binding β-catenin, c. stimulating the nuclear export of the SOX4 transcription factor. γ-catenin also plays a role in maintaining embryonic stem cells in a pluripotent state.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.1 - 1.0 µg/mL. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 5.0 - 25.0 µg/mL is suggested. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 5.0 μg/mL is recommended. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.25 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
