Application: Anti-CDHR2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: CDHR2 (cadherin-related family member 2) is an important member of the protocadherin subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. It consists of seven cadherin motif or EC domain with negatively charged Ca2+ dependent homophilic-binding domains DXD, DRE and DXNDNAPXF motifs. It is mainly involved in the maintenance of cell-tissue morphology and polarity. It has been reported that the expression of CDHR2 actuates cell aggregation capacity, followed by direct cell-cell interaction. CDHR2 has additionally been documented as a potential tumor silencer gene for the colon and liver malignancies.
