SYNONYMS
CAD11, CDHOB, OB, OSF-4, Cadherin 11, Osteoblast cadherin, OB-cadherin.
INTRODUCTION
Cadherin 11 (CDH11) belongs to the cadherin superfamily (integral membrane proteins) which mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. CDH11 is defined based on lacking a HAV cell adhesion recognition sequence specific to type I cadherins. CDH11 protein’s expression in osteoblastic cell lines, and its upregulation during differentiation, suggests a specific function in bone development and maintenance. CDH11 contributes to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types.
DESCRIPTION
CDH11 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 601 amino acids (54-617 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 66.2kDa. CDH11 is fused to a 37 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
