General description

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. VE-cadherin may play an important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions. VE-cadherin also associates with alpha-catenin forming a link to the cytoskeleton.

Immunogen

HUVEC cells

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected VE-cadherin in the cell-cell junctions of HUVEC cells.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:10-1:20 dilution of a representative lot was used by an independent laboratory in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Buffered formalin fixation is recommended with a fixation period of no longer than 12 hours. High heat antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (Cat. No. 21545) is also suggested. Antibody can also be used to label acetone-fixed cryostat sections or cells using a immunoperoxidase staining protocol (eg. IHC Select Detection Kit, Cat. No. DAB150)

Flow Cytometry Analysis: A representative lot was used in the presence of Ca2+. Note: Use PBS + 2-5mM EDTA for cell detachment.

Western Blot Analysis: Non-reducing conditions may be needed, Ca2+ required in buffer (2-5 mM).

This Anti-VE-cadherin Antibody, clone BV6 is validated for use in WB, IC, FC, IH(P) for the detection of VE-cadherin.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in HUVEC cell lysate.

Western Blot Anlaysis: A 1:2,000 dilution of this antibody detected VE-cadherin in HUVEC cell lysate.

Target description

~120 kDa observed.
The calculated molecular weight is 82 kDa but it will run between ~90-140 kDa because this protein is glycosolated.

Developmental processes, such as angiogenesis, are associated with a constant remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton in response to different mechanical stimuli. The mechanosensitive transcription factors MRTF-A (MKL1) and YAP (also known as YAP1) are important mediators of this challenging adaptation

Notch signaling is critical for many developmental and disease-related processes. It is widely accepted that Notch has a mechanotransduction module that regulates receptor cleavage. However, the role of biomechanical properties of the cellular environment in Notch signaling in general is

Vascular leak is a key driver of organ injury in diseases, and strategies that reduce enhanced permeability and vascular inflammation are promising therapeutic targets. Activation of the angiopoietin-1 (ANG1)-Tie2 tyrosine kinase signaling pathway is an important regulator of vascular quiescence.

Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) migrate to injured vascular endothelium and differentiate into mature endothelial cells. We investigated whether transplantation of vasodilator gene-transduced EPCs ameliorates monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats. We obtained EPCs from cultured human umbilical cord blood

Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin in endothelial adherens junctions is an essential component of the vascular barrier, critical for tissue homeostasis and implicated in diseases such as cancer and retinopathies. Inhibitors of Src cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase have been applied to suppress VE-cadherin
