Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

γ-Catenin (plakoglobin) was identified as a compenent of desmosomes where it associates with desmoglein. γ-Catenin and β-Catenin are closely related proteins that have significant homology with the Drosophila armadillo protein. In addition to complexing with E-Cadherin, γ-Catenin and β-Catenin have been observed in association with the intracellular domain of N-Cadherin. It has been proposed that one molecule of α-Catenin and at least one molecule of β-Catenin and γ-Catenin simultaneously bind to a single cadherin molecule. A 19 amino acid sequence of desmoglein (Dsg1) was found to be critical for binding of γ-Catenin. This region has significant homology to the catenin-binding domain of classical cadherins, thus suggesting a common mechanism for γ-Catenin localization at both adherens junctions and desmosomes.
This antibody is routinely tested by western blot analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
