Rabbit R Cadherin/CDH4 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-CDH4 antibody
Anti-R Cadherin/CDH4 Antibody
IHC-P: 0.5-1ug/ml
Direct ELISA: 0.1-0.5ug/ml
Background: Cadherin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH4 gene. It is mapped to 20q13.33. This gene is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Based on studies in chicken and mouse, this cadherin is thought to play an important role during brain segmentation and neuronal outgrowth. In addition, a role in kidney and muscle development is indicated. Of particular interest are studies showing stable cis-heterodimers of cadherins 2 and 4 in cotransfected cell lines. Previously thought to interact in an exclusively homophilic manner, this is the first evidence of cadherin heterodimerization. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
CDH4: Cadherins are calcium dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. May play an important role in retinal development. Expressed mainly in brain but also found in other tissues.
