CDH1 ELISA Kit (Rat) (OKBB00988)

Description of target: Cadherin-1, also known as CAM 120/80 or epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) or uvomorulin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH1 gene. E-cadherin is a Ca(2+)-dependent epithelial cell-cell adhesion molecule. Downregulation of E-cadherin expression often correlates with strong invasive potential and poor prognosis of human carcinomas. The gene spans a region of approximately 100 kb, and its location on chromosome 16q22.1. It contains 16 exons and a 65-kb-long intron 2. E-cadherin gene mutations may contribute to the development of diffusely growing gastric carcinomas. It plays a central part in the process of epithelial morphogenesis and acts as a strong invasion suppressor in experimental tumor cell systems. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant gene expression with the molecular mass of 120KDa.;Species reactivity: Rat;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <15pg/ml
