Axin Antibody (AT1A4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects Axin in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Axin plays a crucial role in the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway, acting as a scaffold that facilitates the formation of a complex with β-catenin, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β). This complex is essential for the targeted degradation of β-catenin, thereby preventing its accumulation and subsequent activation of Wnt target genes. The importance of Axin lies in maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing aberrant signaling that can lead to various diseases, including cancer. Additionally, Axin′s structural similarity to Conductin, which shares 45% identity, suggests overlapping functions in Wnt signaling regulation. Anti-Axin antibody (AT1A4) enables researchers to gain insights into the dynamics of Wnt signaling and its implications in developmental processes and disease states.
