E-cadherin (uvomorulin, cell-CAM120/80) is a calcium dependent cell adhesion molecule expressed predominately in epithelial tissues. It plays an important role in the growth and development of cells via the mechanisms of control of tissue architecture and the maintenance of tissue integrity. Numerous studies have demonstrated that reduction and/or loss of Ecadherin expression in carcinomas correlates positively with the potential of these tumors for invasion and metastasis.

E-Cadherin Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a secreted protein with the sequence of Human E-Cadherin (amino acids Asp155-Ile707) and fused to a 6xHis tag at the C-terminus.
