PCDH1 (Protocadherin 1) Monoclonal Antibody (CSTEM31), Alexa Fluor™ 488, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

This monoclonal antibody CSTEM31 reacts with human Protocadherin-1, also known as PCDH1 and cadherin-like protein 1. Applications Reported: This CSTEM31 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This CSTEM31 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of human iPSCs. This may be used at 5 μL (0.5 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 519 nm; Laser: Blue Laser

Protocadherin 1, also known as PCDH1 and cadherin-like protein 1, is a transmembrane protein involved in cell-cell adhesion. Protocadherin 1 belongs to a group of cadherin-like proteins termed delta1-protocadherins, which consists of protocadherin-1, -7, -9, and -11(X/Y). The delta1-protocadherins have seven extracellular cadherin-repeats, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain, and can be expressed in two isoforms, short or long. Expression of protocadherin 1 is regulated both temporally and spatially, and plays a role both in early development and mature tissues. In mice, it is expressed in a number of tissues and organs, including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral ganglia, inner ear, hair follicles, kidney, reproductive organs, prostate, and the seminal gland. Notably, protocadherin 1 is a susceptibility gene for Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness in humans. Expression of protocadherin 1 has also been identified on human pluripotent stem cells.
