Important in cell-cell recognition. Appears to function in leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. Interacts with integrin alpha-4/beta-1 (ITGA4/ITGB1) on leukocytes, and mediates both adhesion and signal transduction. The VCAM1/ITGA4/ITGB1 interaction may play a pathophysiologic role both in immune responses and in leukocyte emigration to sites of inflammation.
Background
Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) is a cell surface glycoprotein adhesive for certain blood leukocytes and tumor cells, which is expressed by activated endothelium in a variety of pathologic conditions including atherosclerosis.Increased expression of VCAM1 is associated with a variety of chronic inflammatory conditions, making its expression and function a target for therapeutic intervention.Integrin alpha4beta1 (VLA-4) and VCAM-1 facilitate a critical cell-cell adhesion event required for survival of endothelial and mural cells during vascularization.The VCAM1 gene is assigned to the 1p31-32 region of chromosome 1 based on the analysis of human-mouse hybrid cell lines and in situ hybridization.The standard product used in this kit is recombinant mouse VCAM-1, a dimeric protein linking with a disulfide bond. It consists of Phe25-Glu698 amino acid sequence of a single chain with the molecular mass of 101.9KDa. As a result of glycosylation, the molecular mass of 120KDa is revealed by SDS-PAGE.
