Epithelial (E)‑Cadherin (ECAD), also known as Cadherin-1, cell-CAM120/80 in the human, uvomorulin in the mouse, Arc-1 in the dog, and L-CAM in the chicken, is a member of the Cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules (gene name CDH1). Cadherins are calcium-dependent transmembrane proteins which bind to one another in a homophilic manner. On their cytoplasmic side, they associate with the three catenins, alpha, beta, and gamma (plakoglobin). This association links the cadherin protein to the cytoskeleton. Without association with the catenins, the cadherins are non-adhesive. Cadherins play a role in development, specifically in tissue formation. They may also help to maintain tissue architecture in the adult. E-Cadherin may also play a role in tumor development, as loss of E-Cadherin has been associated with tumor invasiveness. E-Cadherin is a classical cadherin molecule. Classical cadherins consist of a large extracellular domain which contains DXD and DXNDN repeats responsible for mediating calcium‑dependent adhesion, a single-pass transmembrane domain, and a short carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic domain responsible for interacting with the catenins. E‑Cadherin contains five extracellular calcium-binding domains of approximately 110 amino acids each (amino acids 155-697).

Scientific Data Images for Human E‑Cadherin Antibody
Detection of Human E‑Cadherin by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, BT-20 human breast cancer cell line, and T47D human breast cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human E-Cadherin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB18381) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for E-Cadherin at approximately 120 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.E‑Cadherin in MCF‑7 Human Cell Line.
E-Cadherin was detected in immersion fixed MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line using Mouse Anti-Human E-Cadherin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB18381) at 3 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell membrane. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.E‑Cadherin in Human Stomach.
E-Cadherin was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human stomach using Mouse Anti-Human E-Cadherin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB18381) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to plasma membrane.
