The CDH5 cdh5 (Catalog #MBS584045) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The VE-Cadherin, Human, mAb BV9, FITC reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. MyBioSource\'s VE-Cadherin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, F, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), FS, Immunoassay (IA), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunopreciptation (IP), Western Blot (WB).Application Notes: F: Acetone fixed sections were blocked with horse serum and incubated with antibody BV9 for 30 minutes (Ref.2).
Application Use: For immunohistology, flow cytometry and Western blotting dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:10. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CDH5 cdh5 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
The CDH5 cdh5 product has the following accession number(s) (GI #599834) (NCBI Accession #CAA56306.1) (Uniprot Accession #P33151).

Product Description: The monoclonal antibody BV9 binds to the extracellular domain (EC3-EC4) of human VE-cadherin (vascular endothelial cadherin). Endothelial cells control the passage of plasma constituents and circulating cells from blood to the underlying tissues. VE-cadherin is of vital importance for the maintenance and control of endothelial cell contacts. Mechanisms that regulate VE-cadherinmediated adhesion are important for the control of vascular permeability and leukocyte extravasation. VE-cadherin regulates various cellular processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis and modulates vascular endothelial growth factor receptor functions. Therefore, VE-cadherin is also essential during embryonic angiogenesis. The specialized function of VE-cadherin is lost or impaired in several pathological conditions - including inflammation, sepsis, ischemia and diabetes - which leads to severe, and sometimes fatal, organ dysfunction. Furthermore, abnormal increase in vascular permeability is often observed in pathological conditions, such as tumor-induced angiogenesis, macular degeneration, allergy, and brain stroke.
Endothelial permeability is regulated in part by the dynamic opening and closure of cell-cell adherent junctions. In vascular endothelium, adherent junctions are mainly composed of VE-cadherin, an adhesive receptor that is able to self-associate at endothelial cellcell contacts. VE-cadherin links endothelial cells together by homophilic interactions mediated by its extracellular part and associates intracellularly with the actin cytoskeleton via catenins. VE-cadherin belongs to the cadherin super-family of cellcell adhesion molecules, which are encoded by more than 200 genes in the human genome. Classical cadherins are Ca2+-dependent, homophilic, cell to cell adhesion molecules expressed in nearly all cells within solid tissues. Cadherins form a core adhesion complex that consists of a cadherin dimer, binding through its extracellular region to another dimer of cadherins expressed in adjacent cells, while its intracellular region is anchored to the plasma membrane and linked to the cytoskeleton. The VE-cadherin extracellular domain consists of five cadherin-type repeats, called EC (extracellular cadherin) domains that are bound together by calcium ions in a rod-like structure.
