CDH3 Antibody

CDH3 is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily. The protein is a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Its gene is located in a six-cadherin cluster in a region on the long arm of chromosome 16 that is involved in loss of heterozygosity events in breast and prostate cancer. In addition, aberrant expression of this protein is observed in cervical adenocarcinomas. Mutations in its gene have been associated with congential hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy.This gene is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store CDH3 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

CDH3 antibody can be used for detection of CDH3 by ELISA at 1:1562500. CDH3 antibody can be used for detection of CDH3 by western blot at 1.25 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
