Cadherin-3/P-Cadherin/CDH3 Protein(C-Fc) (recombinant mouse)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Mouse Cadherin-3 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Glu100-Gly647 is expressed with a Fc tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Glu100-Gly647. Fusion tag: C-Fc Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 120 kDa. Protein function: Cadherin-3 (CDH3) is a single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the cadherin superfamily. CDH3 is a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region, and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. CDH3 is expressed in some normal epithelial tissues and in some carcinoma cell lines. CDH3 preferentially interacts with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells. CDH3 is involved in loss of heterozygosity events in breast and prostate cancer. Mutations in CDH3 have been associated with congential hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy. Protein function: Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells, cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. [The UniProt Consortium]
