EY-cadherin Antibody (YB.2) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody that detects EY-cadherin protein of human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-EY-cadherin antibody (YB.2) is available as a non-conjugated format. EY-cadherin, also known as CDH18, CDH14, or CDH24, is a 790 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein characterized by five cadherin domains. EY-cadherin is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), where EY-cadherin plays a crucial role in mediating cell-cell adhesion, essential for maintaining structural integrity and proper morphogenesis of neural tissues. EY-cadherin is involved in critical processes such as axon guidance and synaptic adhesion, facilitating communication between neurons. EY-cadherin′s structure, particularly its highly conserved C-terminal domain, is vital for adhesive properties, although EY-cadherin notably lacks the HAV cell adhesion sequence typical of type I cadherins. The gene encoding EY-cadherin is located on chromosome five, a region frequently deleted in various carcinomas, suggesting EY-cadherin may function as a tumor suppressor, further underscoring its importance in both normal cellular function and disease contexts.
