Its deregulation is important in the genesis of a number of human malignancies, particularly colorectal cancer. The β-Catenin adhesion complex is crucial for intercellular adhesiveness and maintenance of tissue architecture. Its impairment is associated with poorly differentiated phenotype and increased invasiveness of carcinomas. Dysregulation of these pathways allow Beta-catenin to accumulate and translocate to the nucleus, where it may activate oncogenes. Such nuclear accumulation can be detected by immunohistochemistry, which may be useful in diagnosis. Catenins link E-cadherin to other integral membrane or cytoplasmic proteins and are modulated by Wnt1 proto-oncogene. The central core region of β-Catenin is involved in mediation of cadherin complex interaction with EGFR. β-Catenin signaling has been shown to have a role in the regulation of angiogenesis and cytoplasmic localization of β-Catenin has been demonstrated as a marker of poor outcome in breast cancer patients.;Description:Mouse Anti- Catenin (Cadherin-Associated Protein), Beta 1, 88kDa Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Mouse;Species Reactivity:Human;Clone#:14/Beta-Catenjo;Isotype:IgG1;Application:IHC;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
