anti-CD106 / VCAM1 antibody [MVCAM A (429)]

anti-CD106 / VCAM1 antibody [MVCAM A (429)] for IHC-Frozen sections,Flow cytometry and Mouse

Overview

Product Description Rat Monoclonal antibody [MVCAM A (429)] recognizes CD106 / VCAM1
Rat anti Mouse CD106 antibody, clone MVCAM A (429) recognizes murine vascular adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), a cell surface glycoprotein that is also known as CD106. CD106 is expressed predominantly on endothelial cells and expression is up-regulated during inflammation. The ligand for CD106 is the alpha 4 subunit (CD49d) of the integrin VLA-4 (CD49d/CD29). Rat anti Mouse CD106 antibody, clone MVCAM A (429) is reported to partially block VCAM-1 mediated functions (Kinashi and Springer 1994).

GeneID: 22329 Mouse VCAM1

Swiss-port # P29533 Mouse Vascular cell adhesion protein 1

Gene Symbol VCAM1
Gene Full Name vascular cell adhesion molecule 1
Background This gene is a member of the Ig superfamily and encodes a cell surface sialoglycoprotein expressed by cytokine-activated endothelium. This type I membrane protein mediates leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction, and may play a role in the development of artherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Three alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
Function 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. [UniProt]
