Anti-PCDH17 antibody produced in rabbit

The protocadherin 17 (PCDH17) gene, mapped to human chromosome 13q21.2, codes for a neuronal cell adhesion molecule, PCDH17. The encoded protein belongs to the cadherin superfamily and is predominantly expressed in focal regions of the human prefrontal cortex. PCDH17 is predominantly expressed in the exterior margins of the thalamus, ventromedial striatal neuroepithelium, and anterior cingulate.

Protocadherin-17 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Anti-PCDH17 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence staining. All Prestige Antibodies^®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Methylation of protocadherin 17 (PCDH17) in serum repeatedly at the initial stage of prostate cancer, can serve as potential marker for the biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. Genistein up-regulates PCDH17 mRNA expression and facilitates gene promoter demethylation and cell cycle arrest in gastric cancer. The encoded protein acts as a tumor suppressor gene in NPC (nasopharyngeal carcinoma), colorectal cancer and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
