Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes protocadherin alpha-2 (gene PCDHA2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA.
Protocadherin α-2 (PCDHA2) belongs to the clustered α-protocadherins, Ca2+-dependent adhesion proteins expressed mainly in the brain. Varied combinations of these isoforms are thought to help establish and maintain specific neuronal connections.
