Synonyms | Vcam-1 |
Function | Cell adhesion glycoprotein predominantly expressed on the surface of endothelial cells that plays an important role in immune surveillance and inflammation. Acts as a major regulator of leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium through interaction with different types of integrins. During inflammatory responses, binds ligands on the surface of activated endothelial cells to initiate the activation of calcium channels and the plasma membrane-associated small GTPase RAC1 leading to leukocyte transendothelial migration. Serves also as a quality- control checkpoint for entry into bone marrow by providing a 'don't- eat-me' stamping in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I presentation. |
Cellular Location | [Vascular cell adhesion protein 1]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19320}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19320} |
Tissue Location | Expressed on inflamed vascular endothelium, as well as on macrophage-like and dendritic cell types in both normal and inflamed tissue. Expressed in the bone marrow |

Background
CD106(cluster of differentiation 106) also known as vascular cell adhesion molecule 1(VCAM-1),is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VCAM1 gene. In inflammatory conditions and in cardiac allografts undergoing rejection, VCAM1 is upregulated in endothelium of postcapillary venules. Arterial expression of VCAM1 is also found in experimental models of atherosclerosis in the rabbit. Cybulsky et al.(1991) mapped the VCAM1 gene to chromosome 1 by Southern analysis of somatic cell hybrids. Kumar et al.(1994) mapped the murine Vcam1 gene to chromosome 3 near Amy1.VCAM-1 functions as a cell adhesion molecule. The VCAM-1 protein mediates the adhesion of lymphocytes,monocytes, eosinophils, andbasophils to vascularendothelium. It also functions in leukocyte-endothelial cell signal transduction, and it may play a role in the development ofatherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. CAM741 works similar to cotransin in that it represses the biosynthesis of VCAM1 cells by blocking the process of cotranslational translocation, which is dependent on the signal peptide ofVCAM1. Among the lung metastasis signature genes identified, several, includingVCAM1, were functionally validated.
