Clone Host Grade Applications Polyclonal Rabbit Affinity Purified E B

M-cadherin belongs to the cadherin family of proteins, which are calcium-dependent, protease-sensitive molecules that mediate homotypic cell-cell adhesion. M-cadherin is highly expressed in developing and regenerating skeletal muscles.1 In postnatal mature myofibers and after completion of myotube formation in vitro, M-cadherin expression is downregulated, but the protein remains present in quiescent satellite cells.2 M-cadherin is also present in the contactus adherens in the granular cell layer of the cerebellar glomerulus.3 Studies of skeletal muscle and cerebellum in M-cadherin-null mutant mice have demonstrated that other cadherins such as N-cadherin and R-cadherin may compensate for absent M-cadherin function.4 Although the calculated molecular weight of M-cadherin is ~86kDa, the apparent molecular molecular weight is ~130kDa due to glycosylation.
Catalog #	C0107-02
Applications	Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blotting. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution	ELISA: 0.1–1ug/mL
	Western Blotting: 1–3ug/mL
	Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability	May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20°C.
