Description

m-Cadherin CAS NO 142845-03-2 is a cell adhesion molecule belonging to the cadherin superfamily, playing a critical role in mediating calcium-dependent cell-cell interactions. This protein is essential for establishing and maintaining tissue architecture and polarity during development and in mature tissues. It is a vital reagent for researchers in the fields of cell biology, developmental biology, and cancer research, where understanding cell adhesion and signaling pathways is paramount.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a key reagent in studies investigating cell-cell adhesion mechanisms, tissue morphogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
• Cancer Research: Employed to study the role of cadherins in tumor progression, metastasis, and as potential biomarkers for certain cancers.
• Developmental Biology: Applied in research focused on embryonic development, organ formation, and tissue patterning.
• Signal Transduction Studies: Utilized to explore intracellular signaling pathways activated by cadherin-mediated adhesion.
• Antibody & Assay Development: Serves as a critical antigen for the production and validation of specific antibodies, ELISA kits, and other immunoassays.
• Cell Culture & Differentiation: Used in specialized cell culture systems to promote specific cell aggregation or differentiation protocols.
