Recombinant human VE-Cadherin/CDH5 protein

hIgG-His-Tag

Can be stored at +2C to +8C for 1 week. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C to -80C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

CDH5, as known as cadherin-5, is a member of the atypical/type 2 subgroup of Cadherin homophilic adhesion proteins. This protein plays a role in the formation, maturation and remodeling of the vascular wall. It is widely considered to be specific for vascular endothelia in which it is either the sole or the predominant cadherin, often co-existing with N-cadherin. Also, this protein regulates or is regulated by VEGF R2, type 1 and type 2 TGF-beta receptors, and other endothelial junction proteins such as JAM-C, Claudin-5, and N-Cadherin. Recombinant human CDH5, fused to hIgG-His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
