A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of PCDH8 antibody, Alternative Names: PCDH8 control peptide, PCDH8 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-PCDH8 Blocking Peptide, Protocadherin 8 Blocking Peptide, ARCADLIN Blocking Peptide, PAPC Blocking Peptide, PCDH8, PCDH-8, PCDH 8, PCDH-8 Blocking Peptide, PCDH 8 Blocking Peptide
This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. PCDH8 is an integral membrane protein that is thought to function in cell adhesion in a CNS-specific manner. Unlike classical cadherins, which are generally encoded by 15-17 exons, this gene includes only 3 exons. Notable is the large first exon encoding the extracellular region, including 6 cadherin domains and a transmembrane region.
