Monoclonal Anti-Uvomorulin/E-Cadherin (rat IgG1 isotype) is derived from the DECMA-1 hybridoma produced by the fusion of rat myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized Lou rat. Uvomorulin/E-Cadherin (Epithelial cadherin), also known as CDH1, CAM 120/80, L-CAM (Cell-Adhesion Molecule) or CD324, is a member of the cadherin transmembrane glycoproteins superfamily. It is characterized with a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail.
Immunogen
Mouse embryonal carcinoma cell line PCC4 Aza RI
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Uvomorulin/E-Cadherin antibody produced in rat has been used in various immunochemical techniques including immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescent staining.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cadherins contribute to epithelial cell behavior and tissue morphogenesis/remodeling by facilitating cell-cell adhesion. Monoclonal Anti-Uvomorulin/E-Cadherin can be used for studies of embryonal development, cell-cell interaction of cells grown in culture, and localization of E-Cadherin. In addition, it is commonly used as an E-cadherin inhibitor/blocking antibody in a study of embryonic stem cells (EMS).
E-cadherin is a calcium-dependent glycoprotein. It is responsible for the homogeneous attachment between cells. It suppresses malignant transformation of tumors. Additionally, it also regulates cellular invasion and metastasis.
Physical form

Up to a certain developmental stage, a fetus can completely regenerate wounds in the skin. To clarify the mechanism of fetal skin regeneration, identifying when the skin switches from fetal-type wound regeneration to adult-type wound repair is necessary. We hypothesized
Wounds that occur in adults form scars due to fibrosis, whereas those in embryos regenerate. If wound healing in embryos is mimicked in adults, scarring can be reduced. We found that mouse fetuses could regenerate tissues up to embryonic day
