Cytonectin is a novel 35,000 molecular weight protein that displays remarkable ion-independent adherence properties.
This consigns it to a family of well-known adherence molecules essential for cell communication and the development of 3-dimensional tissue structures.
Cytonectin is expressed in a variety of organs and tissues, being evolutionarily conserved from human to avian species.
It is hypothesized to act as a "do not attack" signal molecule that prevents tissue destruction by cells of momocyte lineage.
The protein is overexpressed in Alzheimer disease entorhinal cortex as compared to normal age-matched controls.
It is also detected in tissues from patients with Down syndrome and leukemia.
Its presence in all 3 of these related conditions may prove important to their etiopathogensis.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Western Blot: 1:1000.
The bound primary antibody is detected by HRP-goat anti-chicken IgY Fc fragment as secondary antibody, followed by any chemiluminescence protocol
Immunohistochemistry: Most tissues have some cytonectin detectable.
Many pathologic tissues, especially neoplastic cells, show increased cytonectin expression.
The antigens are highly evolutionarily conserved in human, rodent, and avian tissues
