Rat anti Pig CD144

Description:

Rat anti pig CD144 antibody, clone 123 recognizes a ~120-130 kDa a single pass type I membrane protein considered to be the porcine homologue of human CD144, also known as VE-Cadherin or Cadherin-5.
VE-cadherin is expressed by endothelial cells and is important in cell-cell adhesion, tight junction integrity and vascular permeabiltiy. VE-Cadherin is highly susceptible to proteolytic degradation.
Western blotting and immunofluorescence using rat anti porcine CD144 antibody, clone 123 demonstrates rearrangement and upregulation of VE-cadherin in porcine endothelial cells cultured as part of tissue engineered blood vessels under shear stress conditions rather than static conditions.

Storage:

This product is shipped at ambient temperature. It is recommended to aliquot and store at -20°C on receipt. When thawed, aliquot the sample as needed. Keep aliquots at 2-8°C for short term use (up to 4 weeks) and store the remaining aliquots at -20°C.
