Anti-AXIN1 Antibody Picoband®

Axin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AXIN1 gene. This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein which contains a regulation of G-protein signaling (RGS) domain and a dishevelled and axin (DIX) domain. The encoded protein interacts with adenomatosis polyposis coli, catenin beta-1, glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta, protein phosphate 2, and itself. This protein functions as a negative regulator of the wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 1 (WNT) signaling pathway and can induce apoptosis. The crystal structure of a portion of this protein, alone and in a complex with other proteins, has been resolved. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoblastomas, ovarian endometriod adenocarcinomas, and medullablastomas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

E.coli-derived human AXIN1 recombinant protein (Position: M1-K811) . Human AXIN1 shares 86.2% and 82.8% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat AXIN1, respectively.
