Protocadherin Fat 4 is a single-pass type I membrane protein that widely expressed in fetal brain, infant brain, brain tumor and colorectal cancer. Cadherins are cell-cell interaction molecules. FAT4 may play the role in the regulation of planar cell polarity.

Widely expressed. Expressed in fetal brain, infant brain, brain tumor and colorectal cancer.
Western blot analysis on recombinant FAT4 using anti-FAT4 polyclonal antibody.
Immunocytochemistry analysis of HepG2 cells labeling FAT tumor suppressor homolog 4 with Rabbit anti-FAT tumor suppressor homolog 4 antibody (0905-1) at 1/200 dilution.
Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes at 37 ℃, permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 minutes, and then blocked with 2% negative goat serum for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with Rabbit anti-FAT tumor suppressor homolog 4 antibody (0905-1) at 1/200 dilution in 2% negative goat serum overnight at 4 ℃. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (iFluor™ 488, HA1121) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
