Cadherin-17, also known as liver-intestine cadherin or LI-cadherin, plays a distinctive role in cell adhesion within the gastrointestinal tract and liver. Unlike classical cadherins, CDH17 functions as a calcium-dependent adhesion molecule with seven extracellular cadherin repeats and has been implicated in intestinal epithelial organization and hepatocellular carcinoma progression. Its restricted expression pattern makes it a valuable marker for studying tissue-specific differentiation and gastrointestinal malignancies, while its involvement in signal transduction pathways continues to attract research interest.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 13C8F1, offers the reproducibility essential for longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, it eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise experimental consistency. The antibody is generated against recombinant human CDH17 protein and purified through affinity chromatography, ensuring high specificity for your target.
Functional ELISA validation demonstrates robust binding activity with impressive sensitivity. Testing against immobilized Macaca fascicularis CDH17 yielded an EC50 of 2.182–2.529 ng/mL, while rat CDH17 binding showed an EC50 of 13.06–14.24 ng/mL. This cross-species reactivity spanning human, rat, and cynomolgus macaque provides flexibility for researchers working across preclinical models and human samples. The recommended ELISA dilution range of 1:5000–1:50000 reflects the antibody's strong binding affinity, allowing economical use across multiple experiments.
Supplied in a glycerol-based PBS buffer with Proclin 300 preservative, this unconjugated antibody is well-suited for researchers investigating CDH17's role in signal transduction, epithelial biology, and cancer research.
