Additional info: CD144 / VE-cadherin (cadherin 5) is the major cadherin that is present at endothelial junctions. It is also strictly endothelial specific. Under vascular permeability increasing conditions (and also in capillaries and veins) CD144 is being phosphorylated, which promotes its rapid and reversible internalization. On the contrary, binding of p120 catenin (delta1 catenin) maintains CD144 localization at the plasma membrane, which stabilizes the junction and reduces vascular permeability.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody P1H12 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD146, a 118 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on epithelial and endothelial cells, fibroblasts, multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, melanoma cells, activated T cells and activated keratinocytes.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
