Nectin (originally isolated as poliovirus receptor-related protein (PRR)) is a cell-cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin supergene family. Nectin is colocalized with afadin at cadherin-based cell-cell adherence junctions in various tissues and cell lines. The nectin family consist of nectin 1, nectin 2 and nectin 3. Nectin 2 is a plasma membrane adhesion molecule localized at adherens junctions which is widely expressed in various cell lines including neuronal, endothelial, epithelial and hematopoietic cells. Next to its role in adherens junctions it functions as alphaherpus virus receptor and acts also as intercellular adhesion molecule and pseudorabies virus receptor. Disruption of mouse nectin-2 leads to infertility of male mice. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 3ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
