Cadherin 5 Antibody / VE Cadherin

Overview

Cadherin 5 Antibody / VE Cadherin is an antibody targeting VE, raised in Goat for protein detection and localization studies where these specifications are required.

Key elements and design rationale

• Target: VE (reported localization: Cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell junctions).
• Antibody identity: Polyclonal (goat origin); Goat Ig.
• Conjugate/label: Unconjugated (affects detection chemistry and multiplex compatibility).
• Format: Antigen affinity purified.
• Species reactivity: Human.
• Listed applications: IF, FACS, ELISA (peptide) (refer to on-page specifications for application-specific guidance).

Biological background

Cadherin 5 is primarily expressed in endothelial cells, where it plays a critical role in regulating cell-cell adhesion and maintaining the integrity of the vascular barrier. Through its interactions with other Cadherin molecules and cytoskeletal components, Cadherin 5 helps to form adherens junctions, specialized structures that hold adjacent cells together and facilitate cell communication. Research has shown that mutations or dysregulation of Cadherin 5 can lead to various pathologies, including vascular dysfunction, increased permeability of blood vessels, and impaired wound healing. In addition, Cadherin 5 has been implicated in the progression of cancer, as aberrant expression of this molecule can promote tumor invasion and metastasis.

Research relevance and current trends

• Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
• Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
• Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.

Common research applications

• Immunofluorescence: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
• Flow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
• ELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.

Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
• Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
• Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
• Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
