CDHR5 (cadherin related family member 5) is a protocadherin (PCDH) family member, and is also known as PCDH24. It might be a constituent of enterocyte microvillus. It is a poorly characterized protein. It is a type I transmembrane protein, which contains the characteristic domains of the cadherin protein family- extracellular EC repeats. This gene localizes to human chromosome 11p15.5.
Synonyms: Anti-mu-Protocadherin; Anti-MUCDHL; Anti-MUPCDH; Anti-Mucin and cadherin-like protein precursor
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-CDHR5 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: CDHR5 (cadherin related family member 5) is localized to the brush border, and might be involved in the adhesion of microvilli, eventually resulting in the tight packing of fully differentiated enterocytes. It interacts in a trans-fashion with MLPCDH (mucin-like protocadherin) to form Ca2+-dependent adhesion complexes.
