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 (PubMed:21269602). This cadherin may play a important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions (By similarity). It associates with alpha-catenin forming a link to the cytoskeleton (PubMed:10861224). 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 (By similarity). Acts in concert with KRIT1 and PALS1 to establish and maintain correct endothelial cell polarity and vascular lumen (By similarity). These effects are mediated by recruitment and activation of the Par polarity complex and RAP1B (PubMed:20332120). Required for activation of PRKCZ and for the localization of phosphorylated PRKCZ, PARD3, TIAM1 and RAP1B to the cell junction (PubMed:20332120).

VE Cadherin also known as Cadherin-5 or CD144 is a type of protein with a mass of approximately 120 kDa. It is mainly found in endothelial cells where it plays an important role in maintaining endothelial integrity and stability. As a member of the cadherin family VE Cadherin facilitates cell-cell adhesion by interacting with other cadherins on adjacent cells through its extracellular domain. This protein helps form adherens junctions important structures that stabilize cell layers and maintain tissue architecture.
VE Cadherin functions as an important component in maintaining vascular integrity. It connects to cytoskeletal elements through catenins forming a complex that transmits mechanical signals to maintain junctional stability. This ability is integral to the control of vascular permeability and the regulation of endothelial cell movement and growth. The anchoring of VE Cadherin to the actin cytoskeleton ensures that endothelial cells remain tightly bound limiting permeability and preventing unwarranted fluid leakage.
VE Cadherin participates in the Wnt/?-catenin pathway and the Rho GTPase signal transduction. In the Wnt/?-catenin pathway VE Cadherin interacts with ?-catenin playing a pivotal role in mediating cell signaling that governs cell proliferation and differentiation. In the Rho GTPase pathway VE Cadherin influences cytoskeletal dynamics and cell morphology through interactions with small GTPases such as RhoA. These pathways highlight VE Cadherin's involvement in cellular processes including cell movement and stability.
VE Cadherin has associations with cancer progression and cardiovascular diseases. In cancer alterations in VE Cadherin expression can lead to increased tumor angiogenesis and metastasis due to disrupted cell adhesion. In cardiovascular contexts abnormalities in VE Cadherin contribute to vascular permeability changes seen in conditions like atherosclerosis. Proteins such as ?-catenin and p120-catenin which partner with VE Cadherin also play roles in these pathological processes further emphasizing its importance in disease mechanisms.

VE Cadherin immunofluorescence staining of HUVEC cells using rabbit anti-VE Cadherin antibody
ab33168 staining VE Cadherin in HUV-EC cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween 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 ab33168 at 1µg/ml and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291 Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081 Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed ab150120 Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.
This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab33168 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ECL Substrate Kit (High Sensitivity) ab133406.
The band we observe at 115 kDa is believed to be the glycosylated form of the protein.
