The gene Protocadherin-related 15 (PCDH15) is mapped to human chromosme 10q21.1. It is an integral membrane protein and one of the members of the cadherin superfamily that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion.. PCDH15 transcripts can be detected in adult brain, lung, kidney, fetal retina and fetal cochlea.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human PCDH15
Application
Anti-PCDH15 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1.0μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions
The expression of Protocadherin-related 15 (PCDH15) is essential for normal function of cochlea and retina. Mutations in this gene result in hearing loss and Usher Syndrome Type IF (USH1F). PCDH15 is expressed in nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas.

Vitronectin is a multifunctional glycoprotein known in several human tumors for its adhesive role in processes such as cell growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. In this study, we examined vitronectin expression in neuroblastoma to investigate whether this molecule takes part in
Cerebral ischemia (CI) results from inadequate blood flow to the brain. The difficulty of delivering therapeutic molecules to lesions resulting from CI hinders the effective treatment of this disease. The inflammatory response following CI offers a unique opportunity for drug

To assess a novel radiotracer aluminum [18F]fluoride-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-triacetic acid-pegylated dimeric RGD ([18F]ALF-NOTA-PRGD2, denoted as [18F]Alfatide) for positron emission tomography (PET)/X-ray computed tomography (CT) and explore the relationships between clinicopathological characteristics and maximum standard uptake values in primary (SUVP) and metastatic lymph
Natural killer cells are well known to play an important role in immune defense against tumor development and viral infections. To further characterize new functionally relevant structures in these cells, we studied a series of monoclonal antibodies that we have

Usher syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by hearing and balance dysfunction and progressive retinitis pigmentosa. Mouse models carrying mutations for the nine Usher-associated genes have splayed stereocilia, and some show delayed maturation of ribbon synapses suggesting these proteins
