Product Specific Information

This antibody was cross-adsorbed to phospho-N-Cadherin (Tyr-860) and unphosphorylated N-cadherin (Tyr-820) peptides before affinity purification using phospho-N-cadherin (Tyr-820) peptide. The purified antibody detects a 130 kDa* band corresponding to N-cadherin in western blots of serum-starved human endothelial cells treated with pervanadate, but is not detected in untreated cells.

Target Information

N-cadherin is a 140 kDa protein belonging to a family of transmembrane molecules that mediate calcium-dependent intercellular adhesion. Cadherins are involved in controlling morphogenetic movements during development and regulate cell surface adhesion through homotypic adhesion with the same cadherin species. N-cadherin`s function is dependent on its association with the actin-cytoskeleton and is mediated through interactions between the C-terminal region of N-cadherin and the cytoplasmic catenin proteins. The stability of this association is regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of beta-catenin. Further, N-cadherin is a calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. The protein functions during gastrulation and is required for establishment of left-right asymmetry.
