Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins that preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells.  Cadherins thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types.  Cadherin4 or CDH4 is a 916 amino acid (aa) single pass type I transmembrane protein of the cadherin superfamily.  CDH4 contains an N-terminal signal peptide, a 565-aa extracellular domain (ECD) with 5 cadherin domains and 6 potential glycosylation sites, a transmembrane domain (TM), and a 160-aa highly conserved cytoplasmic tail.  CDH4 may play an important role during brain segmentation and neuronal outgrowth as well as in kidney and muscle development. Of particular interest are studies showing stable cis-heterodimers of cadherins 2 and 4 in co-transfected cell lines. Previously thought to interact in an exclusively homophilic manner, this is the first evidence of cadherin heterodimerization.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: CDH4; CAD4; RCAD; R-CAD; R-cadherin; Cadherin4

 

NCBI Gene ID: 1002

 

Uniprot Entry: P55283

 

Construct Details: Full length human CDH4 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 2751 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
