Additional info: E-cadherin is an adhesion protein that is expressed in cells of epithelial lineage. Anti-E-cadherin stains positively in glandular epithelium as well as adenocarcinomas of the lung, gastrointestinal tract and ovary. Another application involves the differentiation of ductal (which is membrane staining) vs. lobular cancer of the breast (which is cytoplasmic staining). It has also been shown to be positive in some thyroid carcinomas. A combination of E-cadherin and p120 catenin helps distinguish ductal carcinoma of the breast from lobular carcinoma.
