Used in immunological research to study cell adhesion mechanisms in primates, particularly in models involving gastrointestinal and renal tissues where CDH17 is expressed. The Fc tag enables easy detection and purification, making it valuable in assays such as ELISA, flow cytometry, and immunoprecipitation. It is also employed in the development and testing of therapeutic antibodies by serving as a target antigen in binding and neutralization studies. Due to its relevance in cancer biology, especially in colorectal and liver cancers, this protein helps in evaluating targeted drug delivery and diagnostic imaging in non-human primate models.
