Protein Function
Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins.
Background
Cadherin 5, type 2 or VE-cadherin also known as CD144, is a type of cadherin. It is encoded by the human gene CDH5. This gene is mapped to 19p14. VE-cadherin is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily and the gene is located in a six-cadherin cluster in a region on the long arm of chromosome 16 that is involved in loss of heterozygosity events in breast and prostate cancer. The encoded protein is a calcium-dependent cellcell adhesion glycoprotein composed of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Functioning as a classic cadherin by imparting to cells the ability to adhere in a homophilic manner, the protein may play an important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions.
