General description
Junction plakoglobin (UniProt: P14923; also known as Catenin gamma, Desmoplakin III, Desmoplakin-3) is encoded by the JUP (also known as CTNNG, DP3) gene (Gene ID: 3728) in human. -catenin and β-catenin are homologous proteins that share characteristic structural features with a central armadillo repeat domain flanked by the carboxyl and amino terminal domains. They function in cell-cell junctions when coupled with cadherins. -catenin is a homodimeric protein that is a component of an E-cadherin/catenin adhesion complex. It is present in adherens junctions and desmosomes where it interacts with desmoglein and desmocollin. The presence of -catenin in both the desmosomes and in the intermediate junctions suggests that it plays a central role in the structure and function of submembranous plaques. In β-catenin knockout (KO) mice -catenin is reported to compensate for β-catenin loss at adherens junction without affecting desmosomes but it is unable to fulfill functions in Wnt signaling. It can also bind to LEF-1 and, when overexpressed in mammalian cells, enhances LEF-1-directed transcription. However, the -catenin and LEF-1 complex may not be efficient in binding DNA or in forming a ternary complex containing LEF-1 and the LEF-1-binding DNA sequences. Overexpression of -catenin does not directly activate transcription but may induce transcription indirectly by elevating the level of endogenous β-catenin by blocking degradation of β-catenin in the cytoplasm. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Clone 1H22 is a ZooMAb® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Catenin. It targets an epitope within 23 amino acids from the N-terminal region.
Physical form
Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
Preparation Note
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
