Anti-Nectin-4

Nectin-4 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the Nectin family of Ig superfamily proteins. It is both a homophilic and heterophilic (with Nectin-1) cell adhesion molecule that is expressed in the embryo and in breast carcinoma. A soluble form of Nectin-4 is generated from the membrane protein via the action of TACE/ADAM-17. The extracellular domain of human Nectin-4 shares 90% and 92% amino acid sequence homology with the corresponding regions of mouse and rat Nectin-4, respectively. Applications: Suitable for use in Direct ELISA, Western Blot and Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: 2.5ug labels 10e6 MCF-7 human breast cancer cells., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
