Key result
T-cadherin acts as an LDL receptor and potential biomarker and therapeutic target for atherosclerosis and CVD.
Why the study?
T-cadherin is associated with the blood vascular system and atherosclerosis, but further research is needed to clarify its cardio-protective role and potential as a biomarker.
T-cadherin may serve as a novel biomarker for atherosclerosis and a potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease.
T-cadherin expression in vascular endothelium may indicate healthy cardiovascular metabolism; leaves open its role as biomarker or target.
T-cadherin, a special member of cadherin family, expresses with blood circulation involving the heart i.e. CVS. Cadherin is connected with the healthy conditions of an individual and normal functioning of cardio-vascular metabolism. T-cadherin is mainly associated with blood vascular system of human. Previous studies analysed this cadherin been unexpressed within the fat storing tissues i.e. adipose tissue of peri-aortic and peri-coronary, it is present within endothelium as well as in vascularized smooth muscular cells which includes the area nearby coronary vessels and aorta. The area and site of this cadherin is attention-grabbing because it particularly related to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). T-cadherin - a protein acting as the receptor for low density lipoproteins (LDL). It may act as a special biomarker for atherosclerosis. Previous studies on T-cadherin showed that it has cardio-protective role. Furthermore, research is essential to enumerate the cardio-protective function of T-cadherin. It can be an important therapeutic target in developing new medicine to decrease incident of heart disease and its complications.

Khan et al. (2022) conducted a review in Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. T-cadherin was evaluated. T-cadherin acts as a receptor for low-density lipoproteins and may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
