Recombinant Mouse E-Cadherin/CDH1 Protein (His Tag)(Active) Size: 100μg Catalogue Number: PKSM040553-100 Citations, Manuals and MSDS Available upon request. Abbreviation: E-Cadherin; CDH1 Target Symptom: AA960649; ARC-1; E-cad; Ecad; L-CAM; Um; UVO Target Species: Mouse Expression Host: HEK293 Cells Application: Cell culture; ELISA Fusion Tag: C-His UNIProt ID: P09803 Accession: P09803 Background: Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins which preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells, and thus may contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell type. E-cadherin (E-Cad), also known as CDH1 and CD324, is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule the intact function of which is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of epithelial tissue polarity and structural integrity. Mutations in CDH1 occur in diffuse type gastric cancer, lobular breast cancer, and endometrial cancer. In human cancers, partial or complete loss of E-cadherin expression correlates with malignancy. During apoptosis or with calcium influx, E-Cad is cleaved by the metalloproteinase to produce fragments of about 38 kDa (E-CAD/CTF1), 33 kDa (E-CAD/CTF2) and 29 kDa (E-CAD/CTF3), respectively. E-Cad has been identified as a potent invasive suppressor, as downregulation of E-cadherin expression is involved in dysfunction of the cell-cell adhesion system, and often correlates with strong invasive potential and poor prognosis of human carcinomas. Activity: Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells. When 5 x 10⁴ cells/well are added to Recombinant Mouse Cadherin-1 coated plates (0.8 μg/mL with 100 μL/well), approximately > 50% will adhere after 1 hour at 37℃. Sequence: Met 1-Val 709 Purity: > 85 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. Formulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4 Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual. Reconstitution: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information. Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
