ANTIBODIES
(anti-Human and others as indicated)
RDI Division of Fitzgerald Industries Intl offers a wide line of antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (neutralization, blotting, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below.

Background: Plakoglobin (also known as gamma catenin) was originally identified
as a component of desmones where it is found in association with desmoglein.
Gamma-catenin and Beta-catenin are closely related proteins and have
significant homology with theDrosphilia armadillo protein. In addition to
complexing with E-cadherin, G-catenin and B-catenin have been observed in
association with the intracellular domain of N-cadherin. It has been proposed
that one molecule of alpha-catenin and at least one molecule of B-catenin and
G-catenin simultaneously bind to a single cadherin molecule. Recently, a
19-amino acid sequence of desmoglein (Dsg1) has been recognized as critical for
binding of G-catenin. This region has significant homology to catenin-binding
domain of classical cadherins, suggesting a common mechanism for
G-catenin localization at both adherens junctions and desmosomes.
