N-cadherin Antibody in Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF) — Immunofluorescence analysis of N-cadherin was performed using 90% confluent log phase SH-SY5Y cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 15 minutes, and blocked with 1% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with N-cadherin Monoclonal Antibody (Product # PA5-19486) at 5 µg/mL in 0.1% BSA, incubated at 4 degree Celsius overnight and then labeled with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate (Product # A27034) at a dilution of 1:2000 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # S36938). F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300). Panel d represents the merged image showing membranous localization. Panel e represents control cells with no primary antibody to assess background. The images were captured at 60X magnification.

N-cadherin Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (IHC) — Immunohistochemical (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded) staining of Human Liver Cancer tissue using Product # PA5-19486, anti-N Cadherin antibody. Primary antibody was used at a concentration of 1 µg/mL and exposed for 15 mins at room temp. The sample was pretreated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Sodium Citrate Buffer (pH6/20mins). The detection method was a HRP conjugated polymer, DAB chromogen and the sample was counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

N-cadherin Antibody in Western Blot (WB) — Western blot analysis of N-cadherin was performed by loading human fetal astrocyte cell lysate (Lane 1) and 2.5 µg of human brain tissue extract (Lane 2) per well onto an SDS-PAGE gel. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked for 1 hour at room temperature. The membrane was probed with an N-cadherin polyclonal antibody (Product # PA5-19486) at a concentration for 1 µg/mL overnight at 4°C, washed in PBST, and probed with an HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10,000 for 1 hour at room temperature Detection was performed using ECL substrate (Product # 32106).

N-cadherin Antibody — Antibody specificity was demonstrated by showing that antibodies raised against the same target protein perform similarly. Immunofluorescence of N-cadherin using N-cadherin Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA5-19486) performed along with another N-cadherin antibody (Product # MA1-91128) shows similar localization pattern in SH-SY5Y cells. {IAV}

Target Information

N-cadherin is a 140 kDa protein belonging to a family of transmembrane molecules that mediate calcium-dependent intercellular adhesion. Cadherins are involved in controlling morphogenetic movements during development and regulate cell surface adhesion through homotypic adhesion with the same cadherin species. N-cadherin's function is dependent on its association with the actin-cytoskeleton and is mediated through interactions between the C-terminal region of N-cadherin and the cytoplasmic catenin proteins. The stability of this association is regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of beta-catenin. Further, N-cadherin is a calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. The protein functions during gastrulation and is required for establishment of left-right asymmetry.
