Fig. 2. Subcellular localization of ß-catenin and p120 catenin in Cx43 CKO
hearts. (A) Immunoblot analysis of cytosol fractions from control and CKO
mouse hearts for the presence of ß-catenin and p120 catenin. (B)
Immunoblot analysis of neat plasma membrane fractions from control and CKO
mouse hearts for the presence of ß-catenin and p120 catenin. Coomassie
staining was used to ensure equivalent loading of protein per lane in the
cytosol and plasma membrane blots. (C) Immunoprecipitation of plasma membrane
fractions with an anti-pan-cadherin antibody followed by blotting with an
anti-p120 catenin antibody demonstrates an association of cadherin with p120
in control and CKO hearts.
