These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.
Biological background
Function: ATP dependent phosphorylation of adenosine and other related nucleoside analogs to monophosphate derivatives. Serves as a potential regulator of concentrations of extracellular adenosine and intracellular adenine nucleotides.
Cellular localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue details: Widely expressed. Highest level in placenta, liver, muscle and kidney.
Background: p120, and called catenin delta-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTNND1 gene. This gene encodes a member of the Armadillo protein family, which function in adhesion between cells and signal transduction. Multiple translation initiation codons and alternative splicing result in many different isoforms being translated. Not all of the full-length natures of the described transcript variants have been determined. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream thioredoxin-related transmembrane protein 2 (TMX2) gene.
Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
Research relevance and current trends
- Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization with compartment markers.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.
Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
- Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.
For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
