Rat CDH13 / Cadherin-13 / H Cadherin Protein (Fc Tag)

CDH13

Catalog Number P80280-R02H
Organism Species Rat
Host Human Cells
Synonyms CDH13
Molecular Weight The recombinant rat CDH13/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 912 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 100.5 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 102 and 52 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

Background CDH13, also known as cadherin-13 and H Cadherin, is a member of the cadherin superfamily. CDH13 acts as a negative regulator of axon growth during neural differentiation. It also protects vascular endothelial cells from apoptosis due to oxidative stress, and is associated with resistance to atherosclerosis. CDH13 is localized to the surface of the cell membrane and is anchored by a GPI moiety, rather than by a transmembrane domain. CDH13 gene is hypermethylated in many types of cancer.
