alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist,disease:May play an important role in the genesis of atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.,domain:Either the first or the fourth Ig-like C2-type domain is required for VLA4-dependent cell adhesion.,function:Important in cell-cell recognition. Appears to function in leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. 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.,induction:By cytokines (e.g. IL-1, TNF-alpha).,online information:VCAM-1,online information:VCAM1 entry,PTM:Sialoglycoprotein.,similarity:Contains 7 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,subunit:Binds to ECMV-D capsid proteins and acts as a receptor for this virus.,tissue specificity:Expressed on inflamed vascular endothelium, as well as on macrophage-like and dendritic cell types in both normal and inflamed tissue.,
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Expressed on inflamed vascular endothelium, as well as on macrophage-like and dendritic cell types in both normal and inflamed tissue.
