CDH22 polyclonal antibody

The cadherins are a family of Ca2+-dependent adhesion molecules that function to mediate cell-cell binding critical to the maintenance of structure and morphogenesis. Cadherins each contain a large extracellular domain at the N-terminus, which is characterized by a series of five homologous repeats, the most distal of which is thought to be responsible for binding specificity. Cadherin-22, also known as CDH22 or PB-cadherin (pituitary and brain cadherin), is an 828 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that, characteristic of cadherin proteins, contains five cadherin domains. Expressed predominately in brain, cadherin-22 functions as a Ca2+-dependent cell adhesion protein that is thought to play an important role in tissue formation and morphogenesis, specifically in neural cells during the development and maintenance of brain tissue.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE)
