Human vascular endothelium cadherin is an endothelium-specific cadherin localized at the intercellular junctions. 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. This cadherin may play an important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions. It associates with alpha catenin forming a link to the cytoskeleton.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, and Immunoassays. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 1:10
Western Blot: 1:10
Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 1:10
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.
