This IHC kit offers a complete solution for Alpha Actinin staining, providing all necessary reagents in a convenient and ready-to-use format for a streamlined workflow and reliable results.
Description
Alpha catenins are crucial for linking E-cadherin-β-catenin complexes to the actin cytoskeleton in adherens junctions. Three isoforms exist, with varying tissue distribution. Alpha-E-catenin is present universally, Alpha-N is confined to neurons, and Alpha-T is found primarily in the heart. Reduced alpha-E-catenin levels are associated with various cancers and are linked to tumor differentiation and metastasis.

IHC Control Slides
Creative Biolabs control slides are prepared using top quality tissues that have been processed, embedded and sectioned following standard operating procedure. We provide the following antigen (tissue) controls: - Positive control: a section from a tissue known to express the protein of interest. - Negative control: a section from a tissue known not to express the target antigen. - Endogenous tissue background control: a section from the tissue that doesn't have a primary antibody applied.
Tissue Samples
Creative Biolabs also offers biospecimen including formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, fresh or snap frozen tissue blocks, tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Please contact us to request a customized price quotation.
