REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

Gamma Catenin also known as Junction Plakoglobin (JUP) is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 82 kDa. It plays an important role in cell adhesion mechanisms. This protein is expressed widely in various tissue types prominently in epithelial tissues. Gamma Catenin contributes significantly to the structure of adherens junctions and desmosomes physically connecting cells to one another and stabilizing those connections within tissues.
Biological function summary
Gamma Catenin is an integral component of the armadillo family of proteins and part of desmosomal and adherens junction complexes. It plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity and mechanical strength of tissues. Through interacting with other proteins in these complexes gamma Catenin facilitates cell signaling and communication. It associates with cadherins and catenins including plakophilin and β-catenin to ensure proper cell-cell adhesion and signaling across the cell membrane.
Pathways
Gamma Catenin is involved in the Wnt signaling pathway an important route governing cellular processes such as proliferation differentiation and migration. Gamma Catenin interacts with β-catenin in this pathway influencing transcriptional regulation in the nucleus. It also plays roles in the cadherin-mediated cell adhesion pathway working alongside other proteins like E-cadherin to modulate cell behavior. These pathways highlight its importance in cellular architecture and signaling.
Alterations in gamma Catenin expression or function relate to conditions such as heart diseases specifically arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and cancer particularly affecting epithelial tissues. In these conditions abnormal gamma Catenin interactions with other junction proteins like desmoplakin and plakophilin contribute to disease progression. These disruptions suggest its potential as a therapeutic target providing insight into disease mechanisms and opportunities for intervention.
