Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets protocadherin alpha-6 (gene PCDHA6) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 102.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 150 kDa.
Protocadherin α-6 (PCDHA6) is one of the clustered α-protocadherins, a family of Ca2+-dependent cell adhesion proteins. Their combined expression in neurons is thought to support self-avoidance and proper wiring of neural circuits.
