Description
Specificity: This Polyclonal antibody is directed against human VE Cadherin protein. The product was purified from serum by protein A chromatography. Expect reactivity with human VE Cadherin. Cross-reactivity with VE Cadherin from other sources has not been determined.Relevance: VE-cadherin (vascular endothelium cadherin), also known as Cadherin-5, is an endothelial cell-specific adhesion molecule localized at intracellular junctions (1,2). The protein belongs to the cadherin superfamily of adhesion molecules(3). VE-cadherin plays a pivotal role in vascular structure assembly. Endothelial cells fail to organize in a vessel-like pattern if the VE-cadherin gene is disrupted(4). In this aspect, VE-cadherin is a critical component of a protein complex which controls endothelial cell tube formation(5). VE-cadherin is also critical for maintenance of the endothelium. Following disruption of endothelial cell monolayers with an anti-VE-cadherin antibody, endothelial cells rapidly resynthesize VE-cadherin in order to restore their intracellular junctions(6). Human VE-cadherin has a molecular mass of approximately 87,500 based on the deduced amino acid sequence and is 83% and 79% homologous to porcine and murine VE-cadherin at the amino acid level.
