VE-cadherin phosphorylation decides: vascular permeability or diapedesis

Nature Immunology volume 15, pages 215–217 (2014)Cite this article

Subjects

Phosphorylation of the adhesion molecule VE-cadherin at tyrosine residues modulates the opening of endothelial junctions during inflammatory reactions. The replacement of two distinct residues in VE-cadherin shows that Tyr685 regulates vascular permeability and Tyr731 regulates leukocyte diapedesis in vivo.
