- Product Overview:
VE-cadherin, also known as CD144, is a type II classical cadherin and member of the cadherin superfamily of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules.{57323} It is composed of an N-terminal signal peptide, a pro-peptide, five extracellular cadherin repeats that bind to homotypic cadherins, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail that interacts with the cytoskeleton. VE-cadherin is endothelial cell-specific and is localized to intracellular junctions where it participates in vascular structure assembly.{7068,7069,7071} An anti-VE-cadherin antibody in combination with an anti-CD31 antibody inhibits tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).{7070} Knockout of Cdh5, the gene encoding VE-cadherin, in mouse embryonic stem cells prevents the formation of vessel-like structures in 11-day-old embryoid bodies.{7069} VE-cadherin is overexpressed in melanoma and breast cancer and is positively correlated with poor prognosis.{66126} Cayman’s VE-Cadherin/CD144 Monoclonal Antibody can be used for flow cytometry (FC), immunocytochemistry (ICC), and immunofluorescence (IF) applications.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
