Anti-VE-cadherin Antibody, clone BV6

Control
HUVEC cell lysate

Evaluated by Western Blot in HUVEC cell lysate.

Western Blot Anlaysis: A 1:2,000 dilution of this antibody detected VE-cadherin in HUVEC cell lysate.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected VE-cadherin in the cell-cell junctions of HUVEC cells.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:10-1:20 dilution of a representative lot was used by an independent laboratory in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Buffered formalin fixation is recommended with a fixation period of no longer than 12 hours. High heat antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (Cat. No. 21545) is also suggested. Antibody can also be used to label acetone-fixed cryostat sections or cells using a immunoperoxidase staining protocol (eg. IHC Select Detection Kit, Cat. No. DAB150)

Flow Cytometry Analysis: A representative lot was used in the presence of Ca2+. Note: Use PBS + 2-5mM EDTA for cell detachment.

Western Blot Analysis: Non-reducing conditions may be needed, Ca2+ required in buffer (2-5 mM).

Human Vascular Endothelial (VE)-cadherin is a calcium-dependent adhesion molecule strictly located at cell-to-cell junctions. VE-cadherin is present in all types of endothelium (veins, arteries, capillary and large vessels). Cadherins are calcium dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells. Cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. VE-cadherin may play an important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions. VE-cadherin also associates with alpha-catenin forming a link to the cytoskeleton.

~120 kDa observed.
The calculated molecular weight is 82 kDa but it will run between ~90-140 kDa because this protein is glycosolated.
