General description
CDH8 (cadherin 8) is a classical type II cadherin molecule, which is encoded by the gene present on human chromosome 16q21. This gene is 383kb in size. It has two isoforms, both of which are found in adult as well as fetal brain, especially in the cortex. This cadherin is predominantly expressed in neurons. It has putative β-catenin and actin-binding sites in its C-terminal.

Cadherin-8 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Rare familial microdeletions in 16q21 region show that CDH8 (cadherin 8) is associated with susceptibility to autism and learning disability. It is expressed during early nephrogenesis, and is completely absent in adult kidneys. However, its expression is observed in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Studies show that this cadherin is responsible for cyst formation in kidneys. Its expression in mature kidney is linked to the development of renal cell carcinoma.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Cadherins represent a family of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules with an important regulatory function for maintenance of tissue architecture. Alterations of cadherin expression have been demonstrated in the development and progression of different epithelial tumors. In renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
