Cynomolgus Cadherin-11 Protein, His Tag (MALS verified)

Cadherin-11 is a type II cadherin which mediates cell-to-cell homophilic interactions. Cadherin-11 is mainly expressed on mesenchymal cells and is essential for tissue migration and organization during embryogenesis, while its expression on epithelial cancer cells is implicated in tumor progression and metastasis suggesting a potential role in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition phenomenon. Expression of this particular cadherin in osteoblastic cell lines, and its upregulation during differentiation, suggests a specific function in bone development and maintenance. In addition, cadherin-11 has been shown to increase the invasive capacity of Fibroblast-like Synoviocytes (FLS) and consequently be involved in the formation of the rheumatoid pannus.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 63.8 kDa. The protein migrates as 70-90 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
