Anti-Cadherin N (Cadherin-2, CDw325, Neural Cadherin, N-cadherin, CD325, CDH2, CDHN, NCAD)

N-cadherin (NCAD) is a member of the cadherin cell-cell adhesion receptor family that includes P-, E-,and R-cadherin and liver cell adhesion molecule (L-CAM). N-Cadherin,, also known as Cadherin-2,encodes a 907aa protein that includes a 159aa signal sequence. Human and mouse nucleotide sequences are 96% identical. Mouse Ncad gene consists of 16 exons dispersed over more than 200kb of genomic DNA. Human N-cadherin gene contains 16 exons and its sequence is highly similar to both the mouse NCAD gene (including the large first and second introns) and other cadherin genes. N-cadherin is mapped to 18q11.2. Cadherin regulates dendritic spine morphogenesis. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
