描述：

SignalSilence^® β-Catenin siRNA II能抑制人和大鼠中β-Catenin的表达。来自Cell Signaling Technology (CST)的SignalSilence^® β-Catenin siRNA II 可以帮助研究者通过RNA干扰特异性地抑制β-Catenin 的表达，这种方法可以通过将双链RNA分子传递到细胞内从而使基因表达有选择的沉默。来自CST的所有的SignalSilence^® siRNA产品都是经过内部严格检测的，并且通过Western blot 分析证明确实能够减少目的蛋白的表达。通过三苯甲基分析每个碱基以监测寡核苷酸的合成，确保合适的配对效率。随后寡核苷酸通过亲和固相萃取法纯化。退火的RNA双链通过质谱分析来证实其精确的组成。每一批产品都通过质谱分析与前面的产品进行比较，来保证不同批次之间的最大一致性。CST推荐使用100 nM SignalSilence^® β-Catenin siRNA II进行转染，48到72小时后对细胞进行裂解。转染步骤按照转染试剂说明书提供的步骤进行。遇到任何使用方面的问题，请随时联系CST。β-catenin是Wnt信号通路下游的重要效应分子（1）。在脊椎动物体内它涉及到两个重要的生物过程：早期胚胎发育（2）和肿瘤发生（3）。CK1可以磷酸化β-catenin 45位丝氨酸。该磷酸化将导致β-catenin能够随后被GSK-3磷酸化（4-6）。GSK-3β通过磷酸化β-catenin Ser33, Ser37, 和 Thr41，并促使其进一步被降解（7）。这些位点发生突变会提高β-catenin蛋白稳定性，并且已在多种癌细胞株中发现这些突变（8）。

Homology

Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: Rat, Monkey

Specificity / Sensitivity

SignalSilence^® β-Catenin siRNA II will inhibit human and rat β-Catenin expression.

Description

SignalSilence® β-Catenin siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit β-catenin expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.

Quality Control

Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.

Directions for Use

CST recommends transfection with 100 nM β-Catenin siRNA II 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.

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).
