Recombinant protein corresponding to human Cdh5, (Position: D46-E285), expressed in E. coli.
CDH5 (Cadherin 5), also known as VE-cadherin, is a type of cadherin. It is encoded by the human gene CDH5. This gene is mapped to 16q22.1 using somatic cell hybrid panels. 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. Therefore it was concluded that VE-cadherin serves the purpose of maintaining newly formed vessels. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry.
