Subcellular Localization
Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor . Cell junction. Localizes to the lateral border recycling compartment (LBRC) and recycles from the LBRC to the junction in resting endothelial cells. .
Cell adhesion molecule which is required for leukocyte transendothelial migration (TEM) under most inflammatory conditions. Tyr-679 plays a critical role in TEM and is required for efficient trafficking of PECAM1 to and from the lateral border recycling compartment (LBRC) and is also essential for the LBRC membrane to be targeted around migrating leukocytes. Prevents phagocyte ingestion of closely apposed viable cells by transmitting 'detachment' signals, and changes function on apoptosis, 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 leads to the viable cell's active repulsion from the phagocyte. During apoptosis, the inside-out signaling of PECAM1 is somehow disabled so that the apoptotic cell does not actively reject the phagocyte anymore. The lack of this repulsion signal together with the interaction of the eat-me signals and their respective receptors causes the attachment of the apoptotic cell to the phagocyte, thus triggering the process of engulfment). Modulates BDKRB2 activation (By similarity). Induces susceptibility to atherosclerosis. .
Background
PECAM-1 is an important target GP in DITP.1 Platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is a 130-kD member of the Ig gene superfamily that is expressed on the surface of circulating platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and selective T-cell subsets.2 Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31) is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily that has distinctive features of an immunoreceptor based upon its genomic structure and the presence of intrinsic immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) in its ligand binding polypeptide.3 PECAM-1 has recently been shown to contain functional immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) within its cytoplasmic domain, and co-ligation of PECAM-1 with the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) results in tyrosine phosphorylation of PECAM-1, recruitment of Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP-2), and attenuation of TCR-mediated cellular signaling.4 The standard used in this kit is the product of gene recombinant [removed]extracellular part), consisting of 563 amino acids (E28-K590) with the molecular weight of 65.5KDa. After glycosylating, its molecular weight changes to 91-100KDa.
