Designing a Western blot for Junction plakoglobin? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the JUP Western Blot GuideFacts about Junction plakoglobin.
The presence of plakoglobin in both the desmosomes and in the intermediate junctions suggests that it plays a central role in the structure and function of submembranous plaques. Acts as a substrate for VE-PTP and is required by it to stimulate VE- cadherin function in endothelial cells.
