Background Information
Cadherins are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and play an important role in the maintenance of normal tissue architecture. E-cadherin (epithelial cadherin), also known as CDH1 (cadherin 1) or CAM 120/80, is a classical member of the cadherin superfamily which also includes N-, P-, R-, and B-cadherins. E-cadherin is expressed on the cell surface in most epithelial tissues. The extracellular region of E-cadherin establishes calcium-dependent homophilic trans binding, providing specific interaction with adjacent cells, while the cytoplasmic domain is connected to the actin cytoskeleton through the interaction with p120-, α-, β-, and γ-catenin (plakoglobin). E-cadherin is important in the maintenance of epithelial integrity and is involved in mechanisms regulating proliferation, differentiation, and survival of epithelial cells. E-cadherin may also play a role in tumorigenesis. It is considered to be an invasion suppressor protein, and its loss is an indicator of high tumor aggressiveness. E-cadherin is sensitive to trypsin digestion in the absence of Ca2+. This polyclonal antibody recognizes 120-125 kDa intact E-cadherin and its cleaved fragments of 80-120 kDa.

Jimmy (Verified Customer) (05-20-2025) | Great results for western blot application
|
Davide (Verified Customer) (11-22-2022) | The antibody works optimally at 1:100. By the strenght of the signal it could probably also work at 1:50. Optimal product. E-CAD in red in the picture (abundant background signal due to non optimal blocking)
