Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of L1CAM. The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
L1CAM, also known as NCAM-L1 or CD171, is a cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a 200-220 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein composed of six Ig-like domains and five fibronectin type III repeats followed by a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. L1CAM is primarily expressed in the nervous system and is involved in neuron-neuron adhesion, neurite fasciculation, outgrowth of neurites, cerebellar granule cell migration, neurite outgrowth on Schwann cells and interactions among epithelial cells of intestinal crypts. L1CAM is overexpressed in many human cancers and is often associated with bad prognosis.
