Catenin- Alpha1 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
CTNNA1 encodes a member of the catenin family of proteins that play an important role in cell adhesion process by connecting cadherins located on the plasma membrane to the actin filaments inside the cell. Catenin alpha-1 contains three vinculin homology domains and undergoes conformational changes in response to cytoskeletal tension, resulting in the reconfiguration of cadherin-actin filament connections. Certain mutations in this gene cause butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy.

Research Area: Signal Transduction

Synonyms: CTNNA1, Catenin alpha-1, Alpha E-catenin, Cadherin-associated protein, Renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-13
