Cadherin 17 antibody recognizes Cadherin 17, a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule encoded by the CDH17 gene located on chromosome 8q22.1. Cadherin 17 Antibody Recombinant Mouse MAb is developed to detect this intestinal-type cadherin that mediates epithelial cell-cell adhesion in gastrointestinal tissues. Cadherin 17 is also widely known as Liver-intestine cadherin and LI-cadherin in the literature, and it differs structurally from classical cadherins because it lacks the conserved cytoplasmic catenin-binding domain. The protein localizes primarily to the plasma membrane of epithelial cells, where it supports calcium-dependent adhesion and maintenance of epithelial architecture.
CDH17 antibody, also referred to as Cadherin-17 antibody and LI-cadherin antibody, targets a member of the cadherin superfamily characterized by seven extracellular cadherin repeats and a short cytoplasmic tail. Unlike E-cadherin, Cadherin 17 mediates adhesion independently of beta-catenin interaction. It is strongly expressed in small intestine and colon epithelium and is also detected in pancreatic ducts and certain gastric epithelial cells. Because of its restricted distribution in normal tissues and consistent expression in intestinal epithelium, CDH17 antibody is widely used to evaluate gastrointestinal differentiation in research settings.
Aberrant CDH17 expression has been reported in colorectal adenocarcinoma, gastric carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and other gastrointestinal malignancies. In tumor tissues, Cadherin 17 typically demonstrates strong membranous staining in well-differentiated epithelial tumor cells, reflecting preservation of intestinal lineage characteristics. Reduced or altered expression patterns may correlate with tumor progression or dedifferentiation in certain contexts. CDH17 antibody is therefore frequently applied in studies of gastrointestinal tumor biology and epithelial lineage tracing.
Beyond its adhesive function, Cadherin 17 has been implicated in signaling pathways that influence cell proliferation and migration. Experimental data suggest that CDH17 may contribute to tumor growth and survival in colorectal cancer models. Its stable membranous localization in intestinal-type epithelium supports its use as a biomarker of gastrointestinal differentiation and epithelial identity.
This recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody clone rCDH17/8512 targets Cadherin 17 for research applications involving epithelial biology, intestinal differentiation, and cancer studies. By enabling detection of CDH17 expression and membranous localization, this Cadherin 17 antibody supports investigations into gastrointestinal epithelial identity at NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the Cadherin 17 antibody recombinant mouse mAb should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 242-418) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Cadherin 17 antibody recombinant mouse mAb.
Aliquot the Cadherin 17 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
