PECAM1

SYNONYMS
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule, PECAM1, CD31, CD31/EndoCAM, endoCAM, GPIIA', PECA1, PECAM-1, Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule 1.


INTRODUCTION
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM1) induces susceptibility to atherosclerosis. PECAM1 averts phagocyte ingestion of closely apposed viable cells by transmitting detachment signals, and transforms function upon apoptosis, thus promoting tethering of dying cells to phagocytes. The encounter of a viable cell with a phagocyte via the homophilic interaction of PECAM1 on both cell surfaces as a result causing the viable cell's active repulsion from the phagocyte.


DESCRIPTION
PECAM1 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 582 amino acids (28-601a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 65.5kDa (Migrates at 70-100kDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions).
PECAM1 is fused to an 8 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
