Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity Phospho-beta-Catenin (Ser552) Antibody detects endogenous levels of β-catenin only when phosphorylated at Ser552. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser552 of human β-catenin. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography. Background β-catenin is a key downstream effector in the Wnt signaling pathway (1). It is implicated in two major biological processes in vertebrates: early embryonic development (2) and tumorigenesis (3). CK1 phosphorylates β-catenin at Ser45. This phosphorylation event primes β-catenin for subsequent phosphorylation by GSK-3β (4-6). GSK-3β destabilizes β-catenin by phosphorylating it at Ser33, Ser37, and Thr41 (7). Mutations at these sites result in the stabilization of β-catenin protein levels and have been found in many tumor cell lines (8). Both Akt and PKA were shown to phosphorylate β-catenin at Ser552. Phosphorylation at Ser552 induces β-catenin accumulation in the nucleus and increases its transcriptional activity (9-11).
