Is e-cadherin expressed (protein level) in HEK293 cells?

I read several papers and I found contrasting information regarding the expression of E-cadherin in HEK293 cells. I haven't run a WB as yet, but any personal experience will help.

Hi Luciano,

in my experience e-cadherin can be detected in hek293 cells, but levels seem to be a bit lower compared to other cells lines like mcf-7.

Best,

Kai
