BD Transduction Laboratories™ Purified Mouse Anti-E-Cadherin (610181)

经验证应用

制备与储存

Store undiluted at -20°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

荧光格式说明

Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.

产品提示

Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results., Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols., Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing., Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

E-Cadherin is a 120-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that is localized in the adherens junctions of epithelial cells. There it 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. Its association with catenins is necessary for cell-cell adhesion. These E-cadherin/catenin complexes associate with cortical actin bundles at both the zonula adherens and the lateral adhesion plaques. Tyrosine phosphorylation can disrupt these complexes, leading to changes in cell adhesion properties. E-Cadherin expression is often down-regulated in highly invasive, poorly differentiated carcinomas. Increased expression of E-Cadherin in these cells reduces invasiveness. Thus, loss of expression or function of E-Cadherin appears to be an important step in tumorigenic progression. The 36/E-Cadherin monoclonal antibody recognizes the cytoplasmic domain of E-Cadherin, regardless of phosphorylation status. The peptide immunogen was generated from human E-Cadherin aa. 735-883. Note: Investigators are advised that this antibody has some degree of cross-reactivity to P-Cadherin.
