Cadherin 17 Antibody / Epithelial Cell Adhesion Protein Antibody (clone CDH17/2618) detects Cadherin 17 (CDH17), a member of the cadherin superfamily of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules that plays an important role in epithelial tissue organization, maintenance of tissue architecture, and regulation of cell-cell interactions. Unlike classical cadherins, Cadherin 17 possesses unique structural characteristics that support specialized adhesive functions within epithelial tissues. Cadherin 17 is most commonly associated with gastrointestinal epithelial cells, where it contributes to tissue integrity and maintenance of normal epithelial organization. Cadherin 17 Antibody is widely used to investigate epithelial differentiation, gastrointestinal biology, and cell adhesion mechanisms.
Cadherin 17 mediates calcium-dependent adhesion between neighboring epithelial cells and helps maintain organized cellular architecture within epithelial compartments. Through these adhesive interactions, CDH17 contributes to epithelial barrier function, tissue stability, and coordinated cellular behavior. These functions are particularly important in tissues exposed to continual environmental and mechanical stress, including the gastrointestinal tract and other epithelial-lined organs.
CDH17 is expressed predominantly in intestinal and gastrointestinal epithelial tissues and is frequently used as a marker of epithelial differentiation and maturation. The protein participates in developmental processes that establish and maintain organized epithelial structures and contributes to the preservation of tissue-specific cellular identity. Because of its relatively restricted expression profile, Cadherin 17 serves as a valuable target for studies examining gastrointestinal development, epithelial homeostasis, and tissue-specific gene expression patterns.
In addition to its role in normal epithelial biology, Cadherin 17 has attracted considerable interest in cancer research. Altered CDH17 expression has been reported in several epithelial malignancies, particularly tumors of gastrointestinal origin. Researchers frequently utilize Cadherin 17 Antibody to investigate epithelial lineage, tumor differentiation status, cellular adhesion properties, and mechanisms associated with tumor progression. These studies have established CDH17 as a useful marker in investigations of epithelial-derived cancers and disease-associated alterations in tissue organization.
Beyond oncology, CDH17 is widely studied in developmental biology, regenerative medicine, and investigations of epithelial barrier function. The protein provides important insight into mechanisms that regulate cell-cell adhesion, tissue remodeling, and maintenance of epithelial integrity. Because cadherin family members play fundamental roles in tissue architecture and cellular communication, Cadherin 17 remains an important target for understanding epithelial biology in both normal and pathological settings.
Cadherin 17 Antibody / Epithelial Cell Adhesion Protein Antibody is useful for researchers studying cell adhesion, epithelial differentiation, gastrointestinal biology, tissue organization, developmental biology, cancer progression, and epithelial homeostasis. Validation may include immunohistochemistry, western blotting, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, ELISA, and related protein expression applications when supported by experimental data.
