Background
Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), also known as Cadherin-5 (CDH5) or CD144, is a member of the type II classical cadherin family of cell adhesion proteins. VE-cadherin is expressed specifically in endothelial cells and mediates homophilic adhesion in the vascular endothelium. VE-cadherin plays a role in the organization of lateral endothelial junctions and in the control of permeability properties of vascular endothelium. VE-cadherin has also been shown to be required for angiogenesis.
