Anti-CDHR5 antibody produced in rabbit (C15-1447-293)

General description

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.

Immunogen

Mucin and cadherin-like protein precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-CDHR5 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . 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.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage

Corresponding Antigen APREST71708.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
