Product Overview
Clone: CDH16/1071
Ksp-Cadherin (Kidney-Specific Cadherin), also known as CDH16, is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule that belongs to the cadherin superfamily. It is primarily expressed in the epithelial cells of the kidney, particularly in the distal tubules and collecting ducts, playing a crucial role in maintaining epithelial integrity and polarity. The CDH16/1071 clone is a monoclonal antibody specifically developed to detect Ksp-Cadherin in various applications, such as immunohistochemistry (IHC), especially on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. As a concentrated reagent, it offers flexibility in dilution and protocol optimization, making it suitable for research and diagnostic purposes involving renal tissue differentiation and tumor classification. Its specificity makes it a valuable tool in distinguishing renal cell carcinomas from other neoplasms.
