LI Cadherin antibody recognizes Cadherin 17, a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule encoded by the CDH17 gene located on chromosome 8q22.1. LI Cadherin Antibody Recombinant Mouse MAb is developed to detect this intestinal-type cadherin that mediates epithelial cell-cell adhesion in gastrointestinal tissues. Cadherin 17 is widely known as Liver-intestine cadherin and LI-cadherin, and it is structurally distinct 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 contributes to calcium-dependent adhesion and maintenance of epithelial architecture.
CDH17 antibody, also referred to as Cadherin 17 antibody and LI-cadherin antibody in the literature, targets a member of the cadherin superfamily characterized by seven extracellular cadherin repeats and a short cytoplasmic tail. Unlike E-cadherin, LI Cadherin 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, LI Cadherin antibody is frequently 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, LI-cadherin typically demonstrates strong membranous staining in well-differentiated epithelial tumor cells, reflecting preservation of intestinal lineage features. Reduced or altered expression patterns may correlate with tumor progression or dedifferentiation in certain contexts. CDH17 antibody is therefore commonly applied in studies of gastrointestinal tumor biology and epithelial lineage characterization.
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, supporting its relevance in oncogenic signaling research. Its stable membranous localization in intestinal-type epithelium makes LI Cadherin antibody a useful tool for examining epithelial organization and tumor differentiation.
This recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody clone rCDH17/8514 targets Cadherin 17 for research applications involving epithelial biology, intestinal differentiation, and cancer studies. By enabling detection of CDH17 expression and membranous localization, this LI Cadherin antibody supports investigations into gastrointestinal epithelial identity at NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the LI Cadherin 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 LI Cadherin antibody recombinant mouse mAb.
Aliquot the LI Cadherin antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
