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.  Cadherin21 or CDH21 is a 932amino acid (aa) single pass type I transmembrane protein of the cadherin superfamily.  CDH20 contains an N-terminal signal peptide, a 663-aa extracellular domain (ECD) with 6 cadherin domains and 3 potential glycosylation sites, a transmembrane domain (TM), and a 219-aa conserved cytoplasmic tail. The CDH21 gene is a member of the protocadherin gamma gene cluster, one of three related clusters tandemly linked on chromosome 5. These gene clusters have an immunoglobulin-like organization includes 22 genes divided into 3 subfamilies. The tandem array of 22 large, variable region exons are followed by a constant region, containing 3 exons shared by all genes in the cluster. Each variable region exon encodes the ECD, which includes 6 cadherin domains and a transmembrane region. The constant region exons encode the common cytoplasmic region. These neural cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins may play a role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: CDH21; PCDHGA12; Cadherin-21;FIB3; PCDH-GAMMA-A12; Cadherin21

 

NCBI Gene ID: 26025

 

Uniprot Entry: O60330

 

Construct Details: Full length human CDH21 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: 2799 (bp)
