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 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (13A9) (Product # MA1-159) at 5 µg/mL in 0.1% BSA, incubated at 4 degree Celsius overnight and then labeled with Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate (Product # A28175) 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 Western Blot (WB) — Western blot analysis of N-cadherin was performed by loading 25 µg of the indicated tissue lysate or whole cell lysates and 15 µL of PageRuler Prestained Protein Ladder (Product # 26616) onto a 4-20% Tris-HCl polyacrylamide gel. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with StartingBlock T20 (TBS) Blocking Buffer (Product # 37543) for 1 hour. The membrane was probed with an N-cadherin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-159) at a concentration of 3 µg/mL overnight at 4C on a rocking platform, washed in TBS-0.1%Tween-20, and probed with a goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP secondary antibody (Product # 31430) at a dilution of 1:10,000 for 1 hour. Chemiluminescent detection was performed using SuperSignal West Dura (Product # 34076).

N-cadherin Antibody in Immunoprecipitation (IP) — Immunoprecipitation of N-cadherin was performed on HeLa, MCF7, and NIH/3T3 cells. Antigen-antibody complexes were formed by incubating 300 µg of HeLa, MCF7, and NIH/3T3 whole cell lysates with 2 µg of an N-cadherin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-159) overnight on a rocking platform at 4C. The immune complexes were captured on 50 µL Protein A/G Agarose (Product # 20421), washed extensively, and eluted with 5X Lane Marker Reducing Sample Buffer (Product # 39000). Eluted samples were resolved on a 4-20% Tris-HCl polyacrylamide gel, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and blocked with StartingBlock T20 (Product # 37543) for 1 hour. The membrane was probed with an N-cadherin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-159) at a concentration of 2 µg/mL overnight rotating at 4C, washed in TBST, and probed with an HRP-conjugated anti-mouse light chain antibody at a dilution of 1:1000 for at least 1 hour. Chemiluminescent detection was performed using SuperSignal West Dura (Product # 34076).

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 Monoclonal Antibody (13A9) (Product # MA1-159) 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.
