Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Specificity
This antibody is predicted to not cross-react with PCDH18.
Purification
PCDH12 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
PCDH12 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human PCDH12. The immunogen is located within amino acids 30 - 80 of PCDH12.
PCDH12 antibody can be used for detection of PCDH12 by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples and Immunohistochemistry in rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

PCDH12 Antibody: Protocadherins comprise the largest group within the cadherin family of calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules. Protocadherin 12 (PCDH12) was initially identified through PCR screening of mouse heart microvascular endothelial cell RNA, further experiments revealed its mRNA to be strongly expressed in highly vascularized organs such as lung and kidney, in addition to glycogen-rich trophoblasts in the placenta. PCDH12-null mice are viable and fertile, but show reduced placental and embryonic sizes when compared to wild-type mice. Further studies showed significant expression changes in 2, 289 genes, including those involved in tissue morphogenesis, angiogenesis, cell-matrix adhesion and migration, immune response and chromatin remodeling.
