E-cadherin antibody

Catalog No. ABIN335398

Product Details anti-E-cadherin Antibody

Target: E-cadherin (CDH1) (Cadherin 1, Type 1, E-Cadherin (Epithelial) (CDH1))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This E-cadherin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: Human.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: MB2 is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody derived by fusion of NS0 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BABL/c mouse immunized with MCF-7/AZ cells expressing E-cadherin at their cell surface.

Clone: MB2

Isotype: IgG2b

Application Details

Application Notes: MB2 recognizes both the 120 kD E-cadherin and its 80 kD trypsin-resistant extracellular part. MB2 is a functional antibody in that it inhibits cell-cell adhesion. MB2 is useful for flow cytometry, immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry on fixed cells (methanol fixation) and immunohistochemistry on frozen tissues when using a PBS buffer containing 0.1 mM CaCl 2 and 0.1 mM MgCl 2 . Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration, recommended range is 1:100 - 1:200 for flow cytometry, and for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:100 - 1:1000 for immunoblotting applications.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Storage: 4 °C

Background: Cadherins constitute a family of transmembrane glycoproteins involved in Ca 2+ -dependent cell-cell interactions. The members of this family are differentially expressed in various tissues. They function in the maintenance of tissue integrity and morphogenesis. Cadherins are divided into type I and type II subgroups. Type I cadherins include epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin, cadherin-1 or uvomorulin), neural cadherin (N-cadherin or cadherin-2), placental cadherin (P-cadherin or cadherin-3) and retinal cadherin (R-cadherin or cadherin-4), whereas kidney cadherin (K-cadherin or cadherin-6) and osteoblast cadherin (OB-cadherin or cadherin-11) are type II cadherins. One of the best characterized cadherins is E-cadherin, a 120 kD transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of an 80 kD extracellular and a 40 kD transmembrane and cytoplasmic part. The extracellular domains of E-cadherin are responsible for calcium binding which allows for homophilic interaction with other E-cadherin molecules on the same cell and neighbouring cells. In addition, E-cadherin can interact heterophilically with integrin alpha E beta 7 . The cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin is linked to the actin cytoskeleton through the associated cytoplasmic catenin proteins, thus establishing a complex localized to adherens junctions. In carcinomas E-cadherin is frequently downregulated, which is consistent with its function of an invasion suppressor in normal epithelia.
