Anti-E Cadherin antibody - Intercellular Junction Marker,Abcam,AB15148

Target data CDH1 encodes a protein that is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule, playing a role in cell-cell adhesion, mobility, and proliferation in epithelial cells. It acts as a potent invasive suppressor and serves as a ligand for integrin alpha-E/beta-7. The protein contributes to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types due to its homophilic interactions. E-Cad/CTF2, a product of CDH1, promotes the non-amyloidogenic degradation of Abeta precursors and strongly inhibits the production of APP C99 and C83. Additionally, in the context of microbial infection, it functions as a receptor for Listeria monocytogenes, with internalin A binding to it to promote bacterial uptake.
