Additional info: CD324 / E-cadherin is an epithelial cell surface molecule, which provides calcium-dependent homophilic interactions with E-cadherin of another cell. These intaractions take part in morphogenetic programs controlling the maintenance of the structural and functional integrity of epithelia and affect invasive potential of epithelial neoplasms. CD324 / E-cadherin is implicated in cell growth and differentiation, cell recognition, and sorting during developmental morphogenesis, as well as in aggregation-dependent cell survival. CD324 / E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion system is highly regulated from inside the cell by a number of intracellular signaling pathways.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody VU-1D9 recognizes an extracellular epitope within EGF-like domain I of CD326 / EpCAM, a marker of epithelial lineages. This antibody strongly stains various normal epithelial cells and carcinomas.Application detailsImmunohistochemistry (frozen sections): Recommended dilution: 4-8 μg/ml; positive tissue: tonsil.
