Anti-Cadherin 17 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CDH17 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 832 amino acid residues and a mass of 92.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is reported to be expressed in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreatic duct. It is noted to be involved in cell adhesion and germinal center B cell differentiation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include HPT-1, HPT1, HPT-1 cadherin, LI cadherin, cadherin 17, LI cadherin (liver-intestine), and CDH16. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Cadherin 17 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Western Blot are also common applications.
