  • Alternate names: Cadherin 6, CDH6
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal

  • Description: From Shimazui et al Clin Cancer Res. 1998 Oct;4(10):2419-24. "In many carcinomas, E-cadherin is considered to be a prognostic marker for patient survivals, and its decreased expression is associated with metastatic disease. Among renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), however, only 20% of tumors express E-cadherin, whereas a much higher percentage express other cadherins, e.g., N-cadherin and cadherin-6. Among these cadherins expressed in RCCs, cadherin-6 has been identified as a major cadherin in the renal proximal tubules and in the tumors themselves." The inventors of this reagent found that " These results suggest that cadherin-6 is a major cadherin playing an essential role in cell-cell adhesion in E-cadherin-absent RCC."
