Western blot of purified anti-CD324 (E-Cadherin) antibody (clone 4A2). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 30 µg of human skin lysate; Lane 3: 30 µg of rat colon lysate. The blot was incubated with 5 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system. The top arrow indicates the full length E-Cadherin protein. The bottom arrow indicates the 33-kDa C-terminal fragment (CTF2).

E-cadherin is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule (CAM) critical for formation and functions of adherent junctions during development and tumorigenesis. E-cadherin is usually expressed and localized at the surface of epithelial cells. However, it is also expressed in the adult and embryonic forebrain germinal zones in vivo and in cells derived from these regions growing in vitro. Conditional loss of E-cadherin in mouse brain causes defects in the self-renewal of neural stem cells both in vivo and in vitro. Overexpression of E-cadherin increases the number of neural stem cell colonies indicating that E-cadherin is required for the neural stem cell self-renewal function. In human glioblastoma tissue, the expression of E-cadherin is increased and usually correlates with unfavorable outcome.

- Recommended Usage
-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 10 µg per ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
Lower MW bands detected in WB are cleaved C terminal fragments.
Cleavage of E-cadherin usually occurs in tumor development and cleaved E-cadherin fragments of ~29-38 kD often possess distinct oncogenic properties. -
