BD, 610227, Purified Mouse Anti-P-Cadherin 56/P-Cadherin

Cadherins are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins involved in the Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion that occurs in many tissues. Cadherins are similar in their domain structure, Ca2+ and protease sensitivity, and molecular weight. However, these proteins have distinct tissue expression patterns and immunological reactivities. P-Cadherin is localized in placenta while E-Cadherin and N-Cadherin are found in epithelial and neural tissues, respectively. P-Cadherin is an 829 amino acid polypeptide with a putative signal peptide and precursor region, an extracellular domain containing several internal repeats, and a highly hydrophobic transmembrane region. The cytoplasmic domain provides a link to the cytoskeleton through the associated catenin proteins.

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. Store undiluted at -20°C.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
3. 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.
4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
