VCAM1, Recombinant, Human, aa25-698, His-SUMO-Tag (Vascular Cell Adhesion Protein 1)

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. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa25-698 from human VCAM1, fused to His-SUMo-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
