Description: CDH1 (Cadherin 1), also known as ECAD/E-Cadherin 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.
Immunogen: Amino acids 286-703 of human E Cadherin were used as the immunogen for the E-Cadherin antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the E-Cadherin antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
