N-Cadherin Antibody for IF / NCAD Antibody for Immunofluorescence recognizes N-Cadherin, a calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein encoded by the CDH2 gene. Also known as NCAD, Cadherin 2, and CD325, N-Cadherin belongs to the classical cadherin family and mediates homophilic adhesion between neighboring cells. Its extracellular domains participate in calcium-dependent interactions, while the cytoplasmic region associates with catenins and the actin cytoskeleton. These interactions make N-Cadherin an important component of adherens junctions and connect cell-cell adhesion with cellular architecture, migration, differentiation, and signaling.
Immunofluorescence provides a useful approach for examining the spatial distribution and subcellular localization of N-Cadherin. Rather than measuring protein abundance alone, IF enables researchers to visualize patterns of NCAD expression within individual cells and tissues and examine its relationship to cellular morphology and cell-cell contacts. An N-Cadherin Antibody for IF can therefore support investigations of CDH2 localization, adherens junction organization, tissue architecture, and changes in N-Cadherin distribution associated with development, differentiation, or disease.
N-Cadherin is particularly important in neural, cardiac, and mesenchymal tissues. In the nervous system, CDH2 participates in neuronal migration, axon guidance, synaptic organization, and neural development. In cardiac tissue, N-Cadherin contributes to intercellular adhesion between cardiomyocytes and organization of intercalated discs. NCAD is also extensively studied during epithelial-mesenchymal transition, where increased N-Cadherin expression can accompany loss of epithelial characteristics and acquisition of a more migratory phenotype. An NCAD Antibody for Immunofluorescence can help visualize these expression and localization patterns in cellular and tissue-based experimental models.
Changes in N-Cadherin expression and localization are studied in cancer progression, particularly in relation to EMT, tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastatic behavior. Immunofluorescence can complement other methods by providing visual information about where CDH2 is distributed within the experimental sample. NSJ Bioreagents offers antibodies for investigating cell adhesion proteins and related biological pathways. An N-Cadherin Antibody for IF is useful for studying NCAD/CDH2 localization, cell-cell adhesion, adherens junctions, neural and cardiac tissue organization, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and cancer biology.
For additional information on Cadherin 2/N-Cadherin and its roles in cell-cell adhesion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and cancer biology, see our Cadherin 2 Antibody / CDH2 page.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the N-Cadherin Antibody for IF / NCAD Antibody for Immunofluorescence may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
Amino acids 701-714 (CQCDSNGDCTDVDR) were used as the immunogen for this N-Cadherin antibody (100% homologous human, mouse and rat).
After reconstitution, the N-Cadherin antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
