JCAD/KIAA1462: biology, pathophysiology, and translational perspectives in vascular disease.
Junctional cadherin 5-associated protein (JCAD/KIAA1462) is an endothelial junctional protein encoded by a locus robustly associated with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction in genome-wide association studies. Initially identified as a structural component of endothelial cell-cell junctions, JCAD has sinc...
