protein_function: Cell-surface glycoprotein having a role inimmunoadhesion. Mediates in the adhesion of blood neutrophils incytokine-activated endothelium through interaction withPSGL1,SELPLG. May have a role in capillary morphogenesis.
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. An increased expression of E-selectin has been observed in the arterial endothelium interacting with lymphocytes and macrophages in human atherosclerotic lesions. 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). 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. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant mouse E-Selectin, excluding intercellular E-Selectin and transmembrane domain. It consists of totally 557 amino acids with the molecular mass of 85.8KDa.
