Cadherin-6/KCAD Protein, Rat (HEK293, His)

Cadherin-6/KCAD Protein, a member of the calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein family, assumes a crucial role in mediating cellular adhesion. It exhibits a preference for interacting with other cadherin molecules of the same type in a homophilic manner, facilitating the adhesion between connecting cells. As a calcium-dependent adhesion protein, Cadherin-6/KCAD participates in maintaining the structural integrity of tissues and regulating cellular processes such as development, differentiation, and morphogenesis. Cadherin-6/KCAD Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is the recombinant rat-derived Cadherin-6/KCAD protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag. The total length of Cadherin-6/KCAD Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is 597 a.a., with molecular weight of 85-95 KDa.

Cadherin-6/KCAD, a member of the calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein family, assumes a crucial role in mediating cellular adhesion. It exhibits a preference for interacting with other cadherin molecules of the same type in a homophilic manner, facilitating the adhesion between connecting cells. This unique ability of cadherins to selectively interact with themselves contributes to the sorting and organization of heterogeneous cell types in tissues and organs. As a calcium-dependent adhesion protein, Cadherin-6/KCAD participates in maintaining the structural integrity of tissues and regulating cellular processes such as development, differentiation, and morphogenesis. Cadherin-6 is specifically expressed in the proximal tubules of normal human kidneys, and suggests that changes in cadherin-6 expression are associated with the progression of renal cell carcinoma. In addition, Cadherin 6 is expressed on the platelet surface and plays an essential role in thrombosis in vivo^[1][2].

Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of Caki-2 human clear cell carcinoma epithelial cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is 0.6536 μg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 1529.98 units/mg.

Approximately 85-95 kDa due to the glycosylation.

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
