Anti-E Cadherin 1 CDH1 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 9G2), HRP Conjugate

CDH1 (Cadherin 1), also known as ECAD or UVO, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH1 gene. Cadherin-1 is a classical member of the cadherin superfamily. By Southern analysis of DNA from a panel of mouse-human somatic cell hybrids, Mansouri et al. (1987, 1988) assigned the UVO gene to 16q (16p11-qter). Frebourg et al. (2006) found that in human embryos CDH1 is highly expressed at 4 and 5 weeks in the frontonasal prominence and at 6 weeks in the lateral and medial nasal prominences, and is therefore expressed during critical stages of lip and palate development. CDH1 is involved in mechanisms regulating cell-cell adhesions, mobility and proliferation of epithelial cells. Has a potent invasive suppressor role. It is a ligand for integrin alpha-E/beta-7.

E.coli-derived human E Cadherin recombinant protein (Position: A286-A703). Human E Cadherin shares 79.7% and 80.9% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat E Cadherin, respectively.

Expressed in several hair follicle cell types: basal and peripheral matrix cells, and cells of the outer and inner root sheaths. Expressed in colon. Present in cortical neurons (at protein level).

Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. CDH1 is involved in mechanisms regulating cell-cell adhesions, mobility and proliferation of epithelial cells. Has a potent invasive suppressor role. It is a ligand for integrin alpha-E/beta-7. E-Cad/CTF2 promotes non-amyloidogenic degradation of Abeta precursors. Has a strong inhibitory effect on APP C99 and C83 production. (Microbial infection) Serves as a receptor for Listeria monocytogenes; internalin A (InlA) binds to this protein and promotes uptake of the bacteria.
