General description

Also known as CD144, human Vascular Endothelial (VE)-cadherin is a calcium-dependent adhesion molecule strictly located at cell to cell junctions. VE-cadherin is present in all types of endothelium (veins, arteries, capillary and large vessels). Cadherins are calcium dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. Cadherins are reported to play an important role in angiogeneis and in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions. It associates with alpha catenin forming a link to the cytoskeleton.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the extracellular domain of VE-Cadherin.

Immunogen

Epitope: Extracellular domain.
Recombinant protein corresponding to the extracellular domain of human VE-Cadherin.

Application

Activity Assay Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory increased endothelial permeability, inhibited the organization of vasclular-like structures, and prevented the protective effect of VEGF against apoptosis in endothelial cells.

Endothelial cell proliferation is inhibited by the establishment of cell to cell contacts. Adhesive molecules at junctions could therefore play a role in transferring negative growth signals.
