Protein Function
Cell adhesion leukocyte receptor expressed by mucosal venules, helps to lymphocyte traffic into mucosal tissues including the Peyer patches and the intestinal lamina propria. It can bind both the integrin alpha-4/beta-7 and L-selectin, regulating both the passage and retention of leukocytes. Both isoform 1 and isoform 2 can adhere to integrin alpha-4/beta-7. Isoform 2, lacking the mucin-like domain, may be specialized in supporting integrin alpha-4/beta-7-dependent adhesion strengthening, independent of L-selectin binding. .
Background
MADCAM1 (Mucosal Vascular Addressin Cell Adhesion Molecule 1), also known as MACAM1, is a protein that is encoded by the MADCAM1 gene. By PCR-based analysis of somatic cell hybrids, Leung et al (1997) mapped the MACAM1 gene to chromosome 19. The protein encoded by this gene is an endothelil cell adhesion molecule that interacts preferentially with the leukocyte beta7 integrin LPAM-1 (alpha4 / beta7), L-selectin, and VLA-4 (alpha4/beta1) on myeloid cells to leukocytes into mucosal and inflamed tissues. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is similar to ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.

Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed on high endothelial venules (HEV) of organized intestinal lymphoid tissues like the Peyer patches and mesenteric lymph nodes, and in the lamina propria of the intestine. Some expression found in the spleen, and low levels of expression in the peripheral lymph nodes and the lactating mammary gland. No expression was detected in the liver, kidneys, lungs or in normal brain. Expressed as well in brain endothelioma cells, and mucosal tissues which are in a chronic state of inflammation, such as inflammed pancreas. .
