Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin, cadherin-5, or 7B4) is an endothelial specific cadherin that regulates cell to cell junction organization in this cell type. Cadherin linkage to intracellular catenins was found to be required for their adhesive properties and for localization at cell to cell junctions. We constructed a mutant form of VE-cadherin lacking the last 82 amino acids of the cytoplasmic...
