Product Overview
Clone 1F6 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes catenin beta-1 (gene CTNNB1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for flow cytometry, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 85.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 95 kDa.
β-Catenin (CTNNB1) has two roles: it is a structural part of cadherin-based adherens junctions and the central effector of canonical Wnt signaling. Without Wnt, a destruction complex of APC, AXIN, CK1α and GSK3B targets it for proteasomal degradation; with Wnt, it builds up in the nucleus and activates TCF/LEF target genes. It is studied in development, stem cells and cancer.

Immunogen
Recombinant human beta-catenin fragment (Ala2–Lys233), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places catenin beta-1 in the cytoplasm, nucleus, cell junction and cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in several hair follicle cell types: basal and peripheral matrix cells, and cells of the outer and inner root sheaths. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
