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: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

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.
