- Description
- VCAM1, a single-pass type I membrane protein belonging to the Ig superfamily, is a cell surface sialoglycoprotein expressed by cytokine-activated endothelium. It mediates leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction. VCAM1 interacts with the beta-1 integrin VLA4 on leukocytes, and mediates both adhesion and signal transduction. The VCAM1/VLA4 interaction may play a pathophysiologic role both in immune responses and in leukocyte emigration to sites of inflammation. VCAM1 may play a role in the development of artherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. VCAM1 is expressed on inflamed vascular endothelium, as well as on macrophage-like and dendritic cell types in both normal and inflammed tissue.
