Background of Catenin alpha 1
CTNNA1, also known as Catenin alpha-1 or Catenin (cadherin-associated protein), alpha 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTNNA1 gene. It is mapped to 5q31.2. When surface epithelium CTNNA1 was ablated, hair follicle development was blocked and epidermal morphogenesis was dramatically affected, with defects in adherens junction formation, intercellular adhesion, and epithelial polarity. In vitro, CTNNA1 null keratinocytes were poorly contact inhibited and grew rapidly. These differences were not dependent upon intercellular adhesion and were in marked contrast to keratinocytes conditionally null for another essential intercellular adhesion protein, desmoplakin Knockout keratinocytes exhibited sustained activation of the Ras-MAPK cascade due to aberrations in growth factor responses. It is concluded that features of precancerous lesions often attributed to defects in cell cycle regulatory genes can be generated by compromising the function of CTNNA1.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of CTNNA1 using anti-CTNNA1 antibody (PB9137).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours.
Lane 1: Recombinant Human CTNNA1 Protein 0.5ng.
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-CTNNA1 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9137) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for CTNNA1 at approximately 47KD. The expected band size for CTNNA1 is at 47KD.

Asked: 2019-11-20
Answer
Our lab hasn't experimentally validate the Anti-Alpha 1 Catenin/CTNNA1 Antibody Picoband™ (PB9137) and Anti-Catenin Alpha 1 CTNNA1 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (M01617) cross reactivity with CTNNA2 and its isoforms. Sequence homology with CTNNA2 and its isoforms is low.

Question
We are currently using anti-alpha 1 Catenin/CTNNA1 antibody PB9137 for mouse tissue, and we are content with the Flow Cytometry results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it true that the antibody can work on monkey tissues as well?

Asked: 2013-05-22
Answer
The anti-alpha 1 Catenin/CTNNA1 antibody (PB9137) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with monkey tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in monkey you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
