Anti-α-2-Catenin antibody produced in chicken

Immunogen Sequence: GI # 7656999, sequence 141-300

Recombinant catenin, α 2

Anti-α-2-Catenin antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.

CTNNA2 encodes α-catenin 2 and is mapped to the p11.1-p12 region of human chromosome 2. The gene encodes for a brain-expressed α-catenin that is critical for synaptic contact. It is differentially regulated by smoking in schizophrenic patients. The differences in gene expression in postmortem brain of schizophrenic non-smokers implicates this gene in the disease. It is a tumour suppressor gene frequently mutated in laryngeal carcinomas.
