Monoclonal

IgG3

606CT21.5.1

Mouse

This JUP antibody is generated from mice immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 636-663 amino acids from human JUP.

Mouse monoclonal antibody supplied in crude ascites with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.

Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 degree C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20 degree C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Small volumes of anti-JUP antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

This gene encodes a major cytoplasmic protein which is the
only known constituent common to submembranous plaques of both
desmosomes and intermediate junctions. This protein forms distinct
complexes with cadherins and desmosomal cadherins and is a member
of the catenin family since it contains a distinct repeating amino
acid motif called the armadillo repeat. Mutation in this gene has
been associated with Naxos disease. Alternative splicing occurs in
this gene; however, not all transcripts have been fully described.

CTNNG: Common junctional plaque protein. The membrane- associated plaques are architectural elements in an important strategic position to influence the arrangement and function of both the cytoskeleton and the cells within the tissue. The presence of plakoglobin in both the desmosomes and in the intermediate junctions suggests that it plays a central role in the structure and function of submembranous plaques. Acts as a substrate for VE-PTP and is required by it to stimulate VE- cadherin function in endothelial cells. Can replace beta-catenin in E-cadherin/catenin adhesion complexes which are proposed to couple cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton. Homodimer. Component of an E-cadherin/ catenin adhesion complex composed of at least E-cadherin/CDH1 and gamma- catenin/JUP, and possibly alpha-catenin/CTNNA1; 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. Interacts with MUC1. Interacts with CAV1. Interacts with PTPRJ. Interacts with DSC2. Belongs to the beta-catenin family.
