WB: 1:1000-5000 IHC: 1:50-1:200 ICC: 1:50-1:200 FC/FACS: 1:50-1:100. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NCAD cdh2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "N Cadherin, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions

What is N-cadherin used as a marker for in cell adhesion and EMT studies?
N-cadherin is a transmembrane protein primarily used as a marker for mesenchymal cells and neural tissues. In the context of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), it serves as a key indicator of cellular transformation. Using the AAA Biotech N-cadherin antibody helps researchers identify cells that have lost epithelial characteristics and gained the migratory properties associated with mesenchymal phenotypes.
Can a rabbit N-cadherin antibody be used for immunofluorescence or Western blot?
Yes, the rabbit N-cadherin antibody is suitable for both immunofluorescence and Western blotting. In IF, it reveals the localization of N-cadherin at cell-cell junctions or within the cytoplasm. In Western blot, it is used to quantify the total expression level of the protein in tissue or cell lysates, providing a reliable measurement for AAA Biotech customers studying cell adhesion.
Is N-cadherin expression associated with epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer?
Yes, N-cadherin is a hallmark of EMT. During cancer progression, cells often undergo a "cadherin switch," where E-cadherin expression decreases, and N-cadherin expression increases. This switch, which can be monitored using AAA Biotech antibodies, is associated with increased tumor invasiveness, motility, and a higher potential for metastasis in various types of carcinomas.
What’s the difference between N-cadherin and E-cadherin detection?
The main difference lies in their tissue distribution and biological roles. E-cadherin is primarily found in epithelial cells and maintains tight cell-cell junctions. N-cadherin is typically found in neural, skeletal, and mesenchymal cells. Detecting both using AAA Biotech reagents allows researchers to determine the differentiation state of a cell and whether it is undergoing transition between epithelial and mesenchymal states.
Can this antibody detect N-cadherin in tissue sections by IHC?
Yes, this antibody is validated for immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tissue sections. It allows for the spatial visualization of N-cadherin in various tissues, such as the brain, heart, or cancerous tumors. Using AAA Biotech N-cadherin antibodies in IHC helps researchers map the distribution of mesenchymal cells within the complex architecture of a tissue sample.
How does fixation method affect N-cadherin staining quality?
The fixation method is critical for maintaining the integrity of cell junctions where N-cadherin is localized. While PFA fixation is common for IHC and IF, some epitopes may require specific antigen retrieval steps to be accessible. AAA Biotech recommends following optimized fixation protocols to ensure sharp, clear staining of N-cadherin at the plasma membrane and to avoid background noise.
