The protein encoded by this gene binds CTNNB1 and prevents interaction between CTNNB1 and TCF family members. The encoded protein is a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. ICAT interacts directly with β-catenin and interferes with the Wnt signaling pathway. Specifically, ICAT prevents the interaction of β-catenin with TCF-4 and inhibits β-catenin--TCF-4-mediated transactivation. The negative regulatory effect of ICAT on the Wnt signaling pathway appears to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. ICAT also induces G2 arrest followed by cell death in colorectal tumor cells. The ectopic induction of ICAT inhibits the expression of β3 Tubulin and thus neuronal differentiation in embryonal carcinoma P19 cells. Structural characteristics of ICAT include a three-helix bundle and a C-terminal tail. The gene encoding human ICAT maps to chromosome 1p36.22.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human skin tissue using anti-CTNNBIP1 antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) (high pressure) for 2 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HA720041, 1/200) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Flow cytometric analysis of CTNNBIP1 was done on HepG2 cells. The cells were fixed, permeabilized and stained with the primary antibody (HA720041, 1ug/ml) (red) compared with Rabbit IgG, monoclonal - Isotype Control (green). After incubation of the primary antibody at +4℃ for 1 hour, the cells were stained with a Alexa Fluor®488 conjugate-Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution for 30 minutes at +4℃ (dark incubation).Unlabelled sample was used as a control (cells without incubation with primary antibody; black).
