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.  Cadherin18 or CDH18 is a 790 amino acid (aa) single pass type I transmembrane protein of the cadherin superfamily.  CDH18 contains an N-terminal signal peptide, a 555-aa extracellular domain (ECD) with 5 cadherin domains and 4 potential glycosylation sites, a transmembrane domain (TM), and a 154-aa conderved cytoplasmic tail. CDH18 is a type II cadherin that may play an important role in cell differentiation and morphogenesis. Type II (atypical) cadherins are defined based on their lack of a histidine-alanine-valine (HAV) cell adhesion recognition sequence specific to type I cadherins.  CDH18 is expressed specifically in the central nervous system and is putatively involved in synaptic adhesion, axon outgrowth and guidance.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: CDH18; Cadherin-18; Cadherin-14; CDH14; CDH24; CDH14L; Cadherin18

 

NCBI Gene ID: 1016

 

Uniprot Entry: Q13634

 

Construct Details: Full length human CDH18 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: 2373 (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.
