Cadherins mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and play critical roles in normal tissue development (1). The classic cadherin subfamily includes N-, P-, R-, B-, and E-cadherins, as well as about ten other members that are found in adherens junctions, a cellular structure near the apical surface of polarized epithelial cells. The cytoplasmic domain of classical cadherins interacts with β-catenin, γ-catenin (also called plakoglobin), and p120 catenin. β-catenin and γ-catenin associate with α-catenin, which links the cadherin-catenin complex to the actin cytoskeleton (1,2). While β- and γ-catenin play structural roles in the junctional complex, p120 regulates cadherin adhesive activity and trafficking (1-4). Investigators consider E-cadherin an active suppressor of invasion and growth of many epithelial cancers (1-3). Research studies indicate that cancer cells have upregulated N-cadherin in addition to loss of E-cadherin. This change in cadherin expression is called the \"cadherin switch.\" N-cadherin cooperates with the FGF receptor, leading to overexpression of MMP-9 and cellular invasion (3). Research studies have shown that in endothelial cells, VE-cadherin signaling, expression, and localization correlate with vascular permeability and tumor angiogenesis (5,6). Investigators have also demonstrated that expression of P-cadherin, which is normally present in epithelial cells, is also altered in ovarian and other human cancers (7,8).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\n7B4; 7B4 antigen; CADH5; cadherin 5; cadherin 5, type 2 (vascular endothelium); cadherin 5, type 2, VE-cadherin (vascular epithelium); Cadherin-5; CD144; cd144 antigen; CDH5; endothelial-specific cadherin; FLJ17376; Vascular endothelial cadherin; VE-cadherin\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H B Pg\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 130-140\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797891338409,"sku":"2500L","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-2500l","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
