Recombinant Human VE-Cadherin

Vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-Cadherin) also known as cadherin-5 is an endothelial specific, homophilic adhesion molecule located at the lateral cell surface.¹ VE-Cadherin is crucial for the proper assembly of vascular structures and the maintenance of vascular integrity.² It plays a pivotal role in the formation, maturation and remodeling of the vascular wall.³ VE-cadherin is a positive and endothelial cell-specific regulator of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling. Therefore, the reduction or inactivation of VE-cadherin may contribute to progression of diseases where TGF-beta signaling is impaired.⁴

Lyophilized

The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Human VE-Cadherin is Mr 89 kDa. However, the actual molecular weight as observed by migration on SDS-PAGE is Mr 116 kDa.

89

This recombinant protein was 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives.

This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2°C to 8°C for one month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. See Product Insert for exact lot specific storage instructions.
