Assay
Reference: J:57046 Zhadanov AB, et al., Absence of the tight junctional protein AF-6 disrupts epithelial cell-cell junctions and cell polarity during mouse development. Curr Biol. 1999 Aug 26;9(16):880-8
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:7734722
Gene symbol: Afdn
Gene name: afadin, adherens junction formation factor
Antibody: anti-AF-6
Assay notes: Two Afdn antibodies were described, but the one used in this assay was not detailed. Anti-AF-6 MGI:7734709 may have been used in this assay.
