Calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein; preferentially mediates homotypic cell-cell adhesion by dimerization with a CDH2 chain from another cell. Cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. Acts as a regulator of neural stem cells quiescence by mediating anchorage of neural stem cells to ependymocytes in the adult subependymal zone: upon cleavage by MMP24, CDH2-mediated anchorage is affected, leading to modulate neural stem cell quiescence. Plays a role in cell-to-cell junction formation between pancreatic beta cells and neural crest stem (NCS) cells, promoting the formation of processes by NCS cells (By similarity). Required for proper neurite branching. Required for pre- and postsynaptic organization (By similarity). CDH2 may be involved in neuronal recognition mechanism. In hippocampal neurons, may regulate dendritic spine density.

N-Cadherin also known as CDH2 or neuronal cadherin is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein. It is characterized by its role in mediating intercellular connections primarily through its presence on neurons fibroblasts and certain epithelial cells. N-Cadherin has an approximate mass of 130 kDa. The protein is integral in forming homophilic interactions where N-Cadherin molecules on adjacent cells interact to establish robust cell-cell adhesion.
N-Cadherin significantly influences cell-cell interaction and communication facilitating cellular adhesion and signal transduction. It is a vital component of adherens junctions contributing to tissue morphogenesis and stability. N-Cadherin interacts with other cytoplasmic proteins such as catenins forming a complex essential for linking the actin cytoskeleton to the cell membrane. This interaction affects cellular behaviors including migration and differentiation.
N-Cadherin plays a significant role in the neural development and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathways important for development and cancer progression. It engages with related proteins such as beta-catenin which helps transduce signals within these pathways. N-Cadherin's interactions within these pathways highlight its role in maintaining multicellular structure and signaling processes important for development and pathogenesis.
N-Cadherin is associated with cancer and heart disease. In cancer particularly in the context of the EMT N-Cadherin facilitates tumor progression and metastasis cooperating with proteins like Twist and Snail to promote these processes. In heart disease alterations in N-Cadherin expression and function can impact cardiac muscle integrity and syncytium highlighting potential interactions with connexin43 to maintain cardiac function. Understanding these associations provides insights into therapeutic targets for these conditions.

ab76011 staining N Cadherin in Mouse pancreas tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% BSA + 1% FBS for 2 hours at room temperature; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate buffer pH6. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/500 in 1% BSA + 1% FBS) for 16 hours at 4°C. An undiluted HRP-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody.
This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 55 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was blocked for an hour using 3% milk before ab76011 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively.
