CDH15 ELISA Kit (Human) (OKBB01466)

Description of target: Cadherin-15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH15 gene. It is mapped to 16q24.3. This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily of genes, encoding calcium-dependent intercellular adhesion glycoproteins. Cadherins consist of an extracellular domain containing 5 cadherin domains, a transmembrane region, and a conserved cytoplasmic domain. Transcripts from this particular cadherin are expressed in myoblasts and upregulated in myotubule-forming cells. The protein is thought to be essential for the control of morphogenetic processes, specifically myogenesis, and may provide a trigger for terminal muscle cell differentiation.;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <50pg/ml
