APC Antibody rEMM43 / Adenomatous Polyposis Coli Antibody recognizes APC, a large tumor suppressor protein encoded by the APC gene. Adenomatous polyposis coli is a central negative regulator of canonical Wnt signaling and has important functions in epithelial homeostasis, cell polarity, migration and cytoskeletal organization. Loss of normal APC function is strongly associated with colorectal tumorigenesis and inherited familial adenomatous polyposis.
APC controls Wnt signaling largely through regulation of beta-catenin. The protein participates in a destruction complex with AXIN, GSK3 and other regulatory proteins that promotes phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of beta-catenin. When APC function is lost, beta-catenin can accumulate and drive transcription of Wnt-responsive genes involved in cellular proliferation and differentiation. APC mutations therefore provide a direct molecular connection between disruption of Wnt pathway control and the development of colorectal neoplasia.
Beyond beta-catenin regulation, APC interacts with components of the microtubule and actin cytoskeleton and contributes to cell migration, adhesion and maintenance of cellular architecture. The protein can associate with growing microtubule ends and is found at several cellular locations, including the cytoplasm, cell membrane, adherens junctions and cytoskeleton. These functions demonstrate that APC acts as both a signaling regulator and an organizer of cellular structure.
Alterations of the APC gene are particularly important in colorectal cancer. Germline pathogenic variants cause familial adenomatous polyposis, while somatic APC alterations occur frequently during sporadic colorectal tumor development. Researchers studying APC expression, tumor suppressor biology and related cancer-associated pathways can explore additional targets on our Cancer Marker Antibodies page.
Clone rEMM43 is a recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody generated against a C-terminal region of human Adenomatous polyposis coli. Recombinant production provides a defined antibody sequence and supports consistency between production lots. NSJ Bioreagents offers this APC Antibody for research into APC protein expression and the molecular biology of this important tumor suppressor.
