Background: E-Cadherin is a 120Kda transmembrane glyoprotein that is localized in the adherens junctions of epithelial cells and interacts with the cytoskeleton through the associated cytoplasmic catenin proteins. In addition to being a calcium-dependent adhesion molecule, E-cadherin is also a critical regulator of epithelial junction formation. E-Cadherin association with catenins appears to be necessary for cell-cell adhesion. These complexes associate with cortical actin bundles at both types of adherens junctions-the zonula adherens and the lateral adhesion plaques.

Mouse anti-N Cadherin Monoclonal ab
cat# RDI-NCADHERabm $438.00/vial 50ug
RDI-NCADHERabm-1 $750.00/vial 150ug
Background: Cadherins are a family of CA2+ dependent intercellular adhesion molecules that play a central role in controlling morphogenetic movements during development. Their function is regulated by association with the actin cytoskeleton by a complex of cytoplasmic proteins called the catenin (alpha, beta and gamma). Members of the cadherin family include P-cadherin, E-cadherin (uvomorulin), N-cadherin (neural cadherin), R-Cadherin, cadherin 5, L-CAM and EP-Cadherin. N-Cadherin mRNA is found at elevated levels in brain and heart and at much lower level in liver. Mechanisms such as mRNA expression, cytokine modulation and protease mediated turnover modulate N-cadherin protein levels during development. In addition, N-cadherin function is indirectly regulated by endogeneous kinases and phosphatases. Tyrosine phosphorylation of Beta-Catenin complexed with N-Cadherin results in dissociation of N-Cadherin from actin. However, N-Cadherin also interacts with a PTP1-B-like phosphatase that dephosphorylates B-catenin and promotes N-Cadherin/actin association. This, N-Cadherin is an integral adhesion molecule whose function is regulated by protein-protein interactions and phosphorylation/dephosphorylation events.

Mouse anti-P Cadherin Monoclonal ab
cat# RDI-PCADHERabm $438.00/vial 50ug
RDI-PCADHERabm-1 $750.00/vial 150ug
Background: P-cadherin is an 882 amino acid polypeptide with a putative signal peptide, a putative precursor region, an extracellular domain containing internal repeats, and a highly hydrophobic transmembrane region. Amino acid sequences among P-, E- and N-cadherin are most conserved in the cytoplasmic domain followed by conservation of the N-terminal region of the extracellular domain. The cytoplasmic domain provides a link to the cytoskeleton through the associated catenin proteins. The mouse P-cadherin genes have been shown to be tightly linked on chromosome 8. The human E-cadherin gene has been localized to chromosome 16p11-16qter.
isotype: mIgG1

Mouse anti- Cadherin 5 Monoclonal ab
cat# RDI-CADHER5abm $438.00/vial 50ug
RDI-CADHER5abm-1 $750.00/vial 150ug
Background: Cadherins are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins involved in the CA 2+ dependent cell-cell adhesion that occurs in many types of tissues. These proteins are similar in their domain structure (45-74% amino acid conservation), Ca 2+ and protease-sensitivity and in molecular weight. Cadherin-5 is one of a number of cadherins (Cadherin-4 through -11) whose cDNAs were initially isolated from rat brain and retina. These cadherins have a cytoplasmic domain which is highly conserved relative to the previously identified cadherins, further substantiating the idea that this domain is essential for cell adhesion activity. It is believed that this function is mediated by cadherin interaction with cytoskeletal proteins. However, Cadherin-5's cytoplasmic domain has the lowest degree of homology with the other cadherins. Cadherin-5 is expressed in brain and various other tissues, including umbilical cord vein endothelial cells. Recently a new type of adhering junction has been identified in certain vascular endothelial cells. These junctions are known as "complexus adherens" and are morphologically and compositionally distinct from desmosomes and zonula adheren junctions. The complexus adherens of these endothelial cells lack desmosomal cadherins as well as E-Cadherin. However, these cells are rich in Cadherin-5 which co-localizes with desmoplakin and gamma catenin (plakoglobin).
