PCDHA7, ID (PCDHA7, CNRS4, Protocadherin alpha-7)

Antibodies / Antibodies-Cadherin

-20°C

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2, 0.09% sodium azide.

PCDHA7 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 279-308 amino acids from the Central region of human PCDHA7.

This gene is a member of the protocadherin alpha gene cluster, one of three related gene clusters tandemly linked on chromosome five that demonstrate an unusual genomic organization similar to that of B-cell and T-cell receptor gene clusters. The alpha gene cluster is composed of 15 cadherin superfamily genes related to the mouse CNR genes and consists of 13 highly similar and 2 more distantly related coding sequences. The tandem array of 15 N-terminal exons, or variable exons, are followed by downstream C-terminal exons, or constant exons, which are shared by all genes in the cluster. The large, uninterrupted N-terminal exons each encode six cadherin ectodomains while the C-terminal exons encode the cytoplasmic domain. These neural cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins are integral plasma membrane proteins that most likely play a critical role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain. Alternative splicing has been observed and additional variants have been suggested but their full-length nature has yet to be determined.
