Nectins are immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecules that interact with afadin. Afadin is an actin filament-binding protein that connects nectins to the actin cytoskeleton. The nectin-afadin system organizes adherens junctions cooperatively with the cadherin-catenin system in epithelial cells. The nectin/PRR-family consists of four members, nectin-1, -2, -3 and -4. All the members of the nectin family have two or three slice variants. Nectin 3 is mainly expressed in testis and placental tissues and interacts in vivo with both long and short isoforms of afadin. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable at -20C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Note: Sodium azide is a potent inhibitor of peroxidase and should not be added to HRP conjugates. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
