Description

General description

Cadherins are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins involved in Ca2+-dependent cell to cell interactions. The members of the family are differentially expressed in various tissues and function in the maintenance of tissue integrity, morphogenesis, and migration. Cadherins are divided into type I and type II subgroups. Type I cadherins include epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), neural cadherin (N-cadherin), placental cadherin (P-cadherin) and retinal cadherin (R-cadherin). Type II include kidney cadherin (K-cadherin) and osteoblast cadherin (OB-cadherin). One of the best characterized cadherins is E-cadherin (epithelial cadherin or cadherin-1). It consists of calcium binding extracellular domains responsible for interactions with other E-cadherin molecules on neighboring cells and interaction with integrin alphaEbeta7. The cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin is linked to the actin cytoskeleton through cytoplasmic catenin proteins, thus establishing a complex localized to adherens junctions. In carcinomas E-cadherin is frequently downregulated, which is consistent with its function of an invasion suppressor in normal epithelia.

Immunogen

Whole cells corresponding to human E-Cadherin.

Application

Flow Cytometry Analysis: 2 µg from a representative lot detected E-Cadherin in 1X10E6 A431 cells.

Flow Cytometry Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory detected E-Cadherin in bone marrow cells (Burhing, H. J., et al. (1996). Leukemia. 10(1):106-116.)

Inhibition Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory inhibited E-Cadherin-mediated adhesion of Langerhans to keratinocytes (Caberg, J. H., et al. (2008). Carcinogenesis. 29(7):1441-1447.).

Inhibition Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory inhibits human embryoid body agglomeration (Dang, S. M., et al. (2004). Stem Cells. 22: 275-282.).

Immunofluorescence Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory detected E-Cadherin in human thymus tissue (Kutlesa, S., et al. (2002). J Cell Sci. 115(Pt. 23):4505-4515.).

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory detected E-Cadherin in human thymus tissue lysate (Kutlesa, S., et al. (2002). J Cell Sci. 115(Pt. 23):4505-4515.).
