Product Overview
Clone: SPM594
Ksp-Cadherin (Kidney-Specific Cadherin), also known as CDH16, is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule from the cadherin family, primarily expressed in the epithelial cells of the kidney, particularly within the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts. The SPM594 clone is a mouse monoclonal antibody designed to specifically detect CDH16 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. Provided as a concentrate, this antibody allows for flexible dilution and optimization based on individual laboratory protocols. Clone SPM594 is widely used in immunohistochemistry for identifying renal epithelial origin in tumors, making it especially valuable in distinguishing renal cell carcinomas from other malignancies. Its strong and specific staining pattern in kidney tissue supports its role as a reliable marker in renal pathology and tumor classification.
