Background
Details
Specific detection of Mr 83 000 Plakoglobin, "band 5" polypeptide of intercellular adhering junctions (also described as γ-catenin). Excellent marker for all forms of intercellular adhering junctions, such as: desmosomes of epithelial and myocardial cells (incl. cultured cells); zonulae and fasciae adherentes of epithelia, endothelia of blood vessels and myocardial cells; adherens-type junctions (e.g. lens tissue, pigmented retinal cells, Sertoli cells of testis). Especially useful for studying plakoglobin mutations in cardiomyopathies (e.g. ARVC).
