Anti-VE Cadherin [R64-7Y-4] Monoclonal Antibody

VE Cadherin Monoclonal Antibody from Assay Genie is a high quality antibody for research use only. Protein 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). Associates with CTNND1/p120-catenin to control CADH5 endocytosis (PubMed:33972531) [The Uniprot Consortium]
