Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes cadherin-5 (gene Cdh5) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 87.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 120 kDa.
VE-cadherin (cadherin-5, CDH5) is the main cadherin of vascular endothelial cells, where it builds the adherens junctions that hold neighboring endothelial cells together. By controlling junction stability it governs vessel integrity and permeability, making it a standard endothelial marker in studies of angiogenesis, vascular leakage and inflammation.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL |
| ELISA (capture antibody) | 1–5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): mouse lung tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse lung tissue, rat lung tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Recombinant mouse VE Cadherin fragment (Asp46–Glu285), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt places cadherin-5 in the cell junction, cell membrane and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (mouse): Expressed in postnatal endothelial cells of the retinal vascular plexus (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
