Cadherin-17 is a liver-intestine cadherin protein encoded by the CDH17 gene in humans and belongs to unique member of cadherin superfamily. CDH17 is a non-classical cadherin having seven cadherin domains and a transmembrane domain but lacking the conserved cytoplasmic domain of classical cadherins. Cadherins are cellular adhesion molecules that are crucial for intracellular adhesion. These are considered as potential tumor suppressor genes and any alterations in them may lead to invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. The gene CDH17 is mapped to human chromosome 8q22.1 and contains 18 exons.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human CDH17.
Immunogen Range: 341-390
Biochem/physiol Actions
The protein encoded by the gene CDH17 (Cadherin-17), also referred to as LI-cadherin, functions in cell adhesion without being dependent on cytoplasmic components, such as catenins or the actin cytoskeleton. Lower expression of this protein due to single nucleotide polymorphisms has been associated with tumor progression and lymph node metastasis of human colorectal carcinoma. It is found to regulate the signaling function of α2β1 integrin in cell adhesion and proliferation in liver metastatic cancer cells.

This report presents the chromosomal localization of cadherin genes. Cadherins are cellular adhesion molecules. Since disturbance of intracellular adhesion is important for invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, cadherins are considered prime candidates for tumor suppressor genes. A variety of
Liver metastasis is the major cause of death associated to colorectal cancer. Cadherin-17 (CDH17) is a non-classical, seven domain, cadherin lacking the conserved cytoplasmic domain of classical cadherins. CDH17 was overexpressed in highly metastatic human KM12SM and present in many

Cadherin-17 (CDH17), as a structurally unique member of the cadherin superfamily, has been identified to predict a poor prognosis for gastric cancer (GC). Our previous study demonstrated the positive correlation between CDH17 and lymph node micrometastasis in GC. We sought
