CDH1 Mouse anti-Human, Clone: OTI2D6, lyophilized, TrueMAB™

Description

• Reconstitute with PBS (pH 7.3) and recommend to perform another round of desalting process using Product No
• 7KMWCO E-Cadherin (epithelial cadherin) is a classical cadherin from the cadherin (alcium dependent adhesion protein) superfamily
• The encoded protein is a calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail
• Mutations in this gene are correlated with gastric, breast, colorectal, thyroid and ovarian cancer
• Loss of function is thought to contribute to progression in cancer by increasing proliferation, invasion, and/or metastasis
• The ectodomain of this protein mediates bacterial adhesion to mammalian cells and the cytoplasmic domain is required for internalization
• Identified transcript variants arise from mutation at consensus splice sites
• E-cadherin plays a central role in the growth and development of cells by controlling tissue architecture, and maintece of tissue integrity
• In humans, E-cadherin is encoded by the CDH1 gene present on chromosome 16
• Studies have demonstrated that reduction and/or loss of E-cadherin expression in carcinomas correlates positively with the potential of these tumors for invasion and metastasis.
