Analysis of VE-Cadherin (Human) by MSD Hypersensitive Multi-Factor Electrochemiluminescence Analyzer (CAT#: STEM-MB-0620-LGZ)

Introduction

Cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein critical for calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion during tissue differentiation. Cadherins aggregate to form foci of homophilic binding units. A key determinant of the strength of cadherin-mediated adhesion may be the paramembrane domain of cadherin VE-cadherin (cadherin 5) is the major cadherin found in endothelial cells and plays an important role in angiogenesis and maintenance of barrier permeability.
