We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins.<br />They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types.<br />This cadherin may play a important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions.<br />It associates with alpha-catenin forming a link to the cytoskeleton.<br />Acts in concert with KRIT1 and PALS1 to establish and maintain correct endothelial cell polarity and vascular lumen.<br />These effects are mediated by recruitment and activation of the Par polarity complex and RAP1B.<br />Required for activation of PRKCZ and for the localization of phosphorylated PRKCZ, PARD3, TIAM1 and RAP1B to the cell junction.

Form
Lyophilized powder
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um sterile filtered PBS, 6% Trehalose, pH 7.4
Purity
Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Storage
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. <br />Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
