Target/Specificity | This M Cadherin (CDH15) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 739-767 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human M Cadherin (CDH15). |
Dilution | WB~~1:8000 IHC-P~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | M Cadherin (CDH15) Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CDH15 |

Synonyms | CDH14, CDH3 |
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. M-cadherin is part of the myogenic program and may provide a trigger for terminal muscle differentiation. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the brain and cerebellum. |

Background
CDH15 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. This protein is thought to be essential for the control of morphogenetic processes, specifically myogenesis, and may provide a trigger for terminal muscle cell differentiation.
