Cadherin 5 Antibody / VE Cadherin, 100 ug

Cadherin 5 is primarily expressed in endothelial cells, where it plays a critical role in regulating cell-cell adhesion and maintaining the integrity of the vascular barrier. Through its interactions with other Cadherin molecules and cytoskeletal components, Cadherin 5 helps to form adherens junctions, specialized structures that hold adjacent cells together and facilitate cell communication. Research has shown that mutations or dysregulation of Cadherin 5 can lead to various pathologies, including vascular dysfunction, increased permeability of blood vessels, and impaired wound healing. In addition, Cadherin 5 has been implicated in the progression of cancer, as aberrant expression of this molecule can promote tumor invasion and metastasis.
