Placental (P) - Cadherin (PCAD) is a member of the Cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules. 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. P-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. Human P-Cadherin is an 829 amino acid (aa) protein with a 26 aa signal sequence and an 803 aa propeptide. The mature protein begins at aa 108 and has a 548 aa extracellular region, a 23 aa transmembrane region, and a 151 aa cytoplasmic region. The human and mouse mature PCAD proteins share 87% homology.

Scientific Data Images for Human P‑Cadherin Antibody
Detection of Human P‑Cadherin by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human P-Cadherin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB861R) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for P-Cadherin at approximately 120 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of P-Cadherin in A431 Human Cell Line by Flow Cytometry.
A431 human carcinoma cell line was stained with Mouse Anti-Human P-Cadherin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB861R, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # MAB002, open histogram), followed by APC-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG F(ab')2 Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B). Cells were stained in a buffer containing Ca2+ and Mg2+. View our protocol for Staining Membrane-associated Proteins.
P‑Cadherin in MCF‑7 Human Cell Line.
P-Cadherin was detected in immersion fixed MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line using Mouse Anti-Human P-Cadherin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB861R) at 25 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 cytoplasm.
