Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), also known as Cadherin-5 (CDH5) or CD144, is a member of the type II classical cadherin family of cell adhesion proteins (PMID: 21269602). VE-cadherin is expressed specifically in endothelial cells and mediates homophilic adhesion in the vascular endothelium (PMID: 1522121; 8555485; 21269602). VE-cadherin plays a role in the organization of lateral endothelial junctions and in the control of permeability properties of vascular endothelium (PMID: 1522121). VE-cadherin has also been shown to be required for angiogenesis (PMID: 16473763; 18162609). The calculated molecular weight of VE-cadherin is 88 kDa and the apparent molecular weight of 120-140 kDa is higher due to post-translational glycosylation and phosphorylation (PMID: 10460833; 29894844). Full-length VE-cadherin can be proteolytically cleaved to generate a fragment of 90-100 kDa (PMID: 9786462; 22064597).
