Recombinant human N-Cadherin/CDH2 protein

Recombinant Protein

Can be stored at +2C to +8C for 1 week. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C to -80C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

CDH2, also known as cadherin-2 isoform 1, is a transmembrane, homophilic glycoprotein belonging to the calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule family. It plays a role in neurons and later was found to also play a role in cardiac muscle and in cancer metastasis. Its loss promotes tumorigenesis by releasing membrane-bound B-catenin, hence stimulating Wnt signaling. It seems to be involved in tumor development, but this finding is limited in adrenocortical tumors (ACTs). Recombinant human CDH2, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
