Anti-P-Cadherin-3 CDH3-Antibody (Monoclonal, CH-19)

Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules that mediate cell-cell binding in a homophilic manner. They play an important role in the growth and development of cells via the mechanisms of control of tissue architecture and the maintenance of tissue integrity. Cadherin expression is regulated spatially as well as temporally. Cadherins are though to play an important role in development and maintenance of tissues through selective cell-cell adhesion activity and may be involved also in the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. Cadherin regulates dendritic spine morphogenesis. A cadherin gene cluster is mapped to a region of chromosome 5 subject to frequent allelic loss in carcinoma.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal amino acids of chicken N-Cadherin with an extra N-terminal lysine residue (24 amino acids) coupled to KLH.

Store at -20°C for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4°C for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20°C for six months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

CDH1: Cell junction. Cell membrane; Single-passtype I membrane protein. Endosome. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golginetwork. Note: Colocalizes with DLGAP5 at sites of cell-cellcontact in intestinal epithelial cells. Anchored to actinmicrofilaments through association with alpha-, beta- and gamma-catenin. Sequential proteolysis induced by apoptosis or calciuminflux, results in translocation from sites of cell-cell contactto the cytoplasm. Colocalizes with RAB11A endosomes during itstransport from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane.|Cdh1: Cell junction. Cell membrane; Single-passtype I membrane protein.
