Long description
Catenins are proteins that connect cadherin/β-Catenin cell adhesion complexes to the actin cytoskeleton. Although originally discovered in testis, αT-Catenin is expressed in other tissues, the highest levels being observed in heart. Immunohistochemical analysis showed Human αT-Catenin localization at intercalated discs of cardiomyocytes and in peritubular myoid cells of testis. It is proven that αT-Catenin can functionally restore cell-cell adhesion in colon cancer cells lacking α-Catenins. This indiCates that this protein is involved in the formation of specific cell-cell contacts in specific types of muscle cells. The encoded protein has about the same predicted size (100 kDa) as other α-Catenins to which it shows an overall amino acid identity of 57%. In cells transfected with αT-Catenin cDNA, interaction with β-Catenin was demonstRated by co-immunoprecipitation. The 892_24D2S antibody anti αT-Catenin does not show any cross reaction with αE-Catenin or αN-Catenin in western blot analysis.

Test
Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
