Function

Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins (By similarity). They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types (By similarity). This cadherin may play an important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions (PubMed:20332120, PubMed:9220534). It associates with alpha-catenin forming a link to the cytoskeleton (By similarity). Plays a role in coupling actin fibers to cell junctions in endothelial cells, via acting as a cell junctional complex anchor for AMOTL2 and MAGI1 (PubMed:24806444). Acts in concert with KRIT1 and PALS1 to establish and maintain correct endothelial cell polarity and vascular lumen (PubMed:27466317). These effects are mediated by recruitment and activation of the Par polarity complex and RAP1B (By similarity). Required for activation of PRKCZ and for localization of phosphorylated PRKCZ, PARD3, TIAM1 and RAP1B to the cell junction (By similarity).

Activity summary

VE Cadherin also known as CD144 or Cadherin-5 is a protein of about 135 kDa involved in cell adhesion. It is a transmembrane protein characterized by its presence at endothelial cell junctions. VE Cadherin belongs to the cadherin superfamily and its expression predominantly occurs in vascular endothelial cells. This protein facilitates the adhesion between adjacent endothelial cells maintaining the integrity of endothelial barriers.

Biological function summary

VE Cadherin performs essential roles in vascular development and permeability. It is a component of adherens junctions and connects with catenins to mediate cell-cell adhesion through calcium-dependent binding. This protein's adhesive function is critical for blood vessel maturation and response to inflammatory stimuli. Altering VE Cadherin expression impacts vascular stability and endothelial cell layering.

Pathways

VE Cadherin interacts with the Wnt and VEGF signaling pathways. It plays a role in the regulation of endothelial cell survival and migration. The interaction with β-catenin is important in the Wnt pathway influencing the transcription of target genes that modulate cell behavior. In the VEGF pathway VE Cadherin's association with protein kinase C highlights its involvement in endothelial permeability and angiogenesis processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

VE Cadherin dysregulation links to cancer progression and atherosclerosis. Its role in maintaining endothelial barrier integrity implicates it in tumor metastasis where disrupted cell adhesion facilitates cancer cell dissemination. Additionally altered VE Cadherin expression or function associates with atherosclerotic disease where damaged vascular endothelium leads to plaque formation. The connection of VE Cadherin with β-catenin in these conditions highlights its significance in pathological angiogenesis and vascular remodeling.

    ab225443 staining VE Cadherin in bEnd.3 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab225443 at 1/50 dilution (shown in green) and Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
