Molecular Characterization: CDH11(54-617)(Gly54-Thr617)6A-His tagMolecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 62.8 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of CDH11(54-617)-His is approximately 70-100 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant Human CDH11(54-617) Protein with C-terminal6A-His tagThis gene encodes a type II classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily, integral membrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. Mature cadherin proteins are composed of a large N-terminal extracellular domain, a single membrane-spanning domain, and a small, highly conserved C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Type II (atypical) cadherins are defined based on their lack of a HAV cell adhesion recognition sequence specific to type I cadherins. Expression of this particular cadherin in osteoblastic cell lines, and its upregulation during differentiation, suggests a specific function in bone development and maintenance.
