Recombinant Cadherin 16 Antibody / Rabbit Monoclonal [clone CDH16/1532R] (V7259)

Description

Cadherins form a superfamily of related glycoproteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell adhesion and transmit signals from the extracellular matrix to the cytoplasm. Cadherins have been implicated in embryogenesis, tissue morphogenesis, tissue structure maintenance, cell polarization, neoplastic invasiveness and metastasis, and membrane transport. It is suggested that CDH16 (kidney-specific cadherin, Cadherin 16) is a marker for terminal differentiation of the basolateral membranes of renal tubular epithelial cells. Within the kidney, CDH16 is found exclusively in the basolateral membrane of renal tubular epithelial cells and collecting duct cells, and not in glomeruli, renal interstitial cells, or blood vessels. CDH16 has been suggested to distinguish Chromophobe Renal-Cell Carcinoma from Oncocytoma.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the recombinant Cadherin 16 antibody to be determined by the researcher.

1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Immunogen

Human protein was used as the immunogen for the recombinant Cadherin 16 antibody.

Storage

Store the recombinant Cadherin 16 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
