Summary
N-Cadherin antibody recognizes N-cadherin protein, a calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein (predicted molecular weight of 100 kDa) encoded by the CDH2 gene. N-cadherin is involved in multiple processes, including neuron development and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Due to the prominent role of EMT in cancer progression and metastasis, antibodies targeting either N-cadherin or E-cadherin are frequently used together to study the EMT process: the upregulation of N-cadherin followed by the downregulation of E-cadherin.

Background
This gene is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is a calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. The protein functions during gastrulation and is required for establishment of left-right asymmetry. At certain central nervous system synapses, presynaptic to postsynaptic adhesion is mediated at least in part by this gene product. [provided by RefSeq]
