Application

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot was used by an independent laboratory in cell extracts from Mouse H5V and PDV cells, and in COS cultures transfected with full length cDNA of mouse JAM-A (Martin-Padura, I., et al. (1998). J Cell Biol. 142(1):117-127).

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot was used by an independent laboratory in cultured epithelial cells, cremaster muscles, and Schwann Cells (Martin-Padura, I., et al. (1998). J Cell Biol. 142(1):117-127).

General description

Junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A) is found in endothelial and epithelial tight junctions and is involved in the inflammatory enlistment of mononuclear cells containing LFA-1. JAM-A is linked to atherogenesis, platelet activation, transmigration of leukocytes and angiogenesis. JAM-A is also found to be important in the development of many different organ systems, and is mostly expressed in the epithelial parts and the embryonic vasculature. JAM-A is indicated to play a role in epithelial permeability, inflammation and proliferation in the intestine, aiding in homeostasis.

Immunogen
