| Background | Mouse anti Human N-cadherin antibody, clone 13A9 recognizes neural cadherin, otherwise known as CD325, a calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein, and member of the cadherin superfamily, which links to the actin cytoskeleton via catenins, and plays a role in cell-matrix adhesion, cell growth and differentiation, and the establishment of left-right asymmetry. Mouse anti Human N-cadherin antibody, clone 13A9 does not recognize E-cadherin, M-cadherin or P-cadherin (Knudsen et al. 1995). Mouse anti Human N-cadherin antibody, clone 13A9 is a reliable marker for the differential diagnosis of pleural mesotheliomas and lung adenocarcinomas, when used in conjunction with E-cadherin (Han et al. 1997). |
