Rat sE-Selectin ELISA Kit

Natural and recombinant rat sE-Selectin. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. E-selectin, also called endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1(ELAM-1), is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed by cytokine-activated endothelium that mediates the adhesion of blood neutrophils.1 An increased expression of E-selectin has been observed in the arterial endothelium interacting with lymphocytes and macrophages in human atherosclerotic lesions.2 E-selectin plays a critical role in mediating tissue-specific homing of T cells into skin, and of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells(HPCs) into bone marrow(BM).3 A structurally and functionally related group of genes, lymph node homing receptor(LHR), granule membrane protein 140(GMP-140), and endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule 1(ELAM-1) are shown to constitute a gene cluster on mouse and human chromosome 1.4
