General description

Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) is a cell surface adhesion molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin cell-cell adhesion receptor family and is comprised of seven Ig-like C2-type domains. VCAM-1 is a crucial component in cell-cell recognition and seems to be involved in cellular adhesion between endothelial cells and leukocytes. It has a regulatory role for both signal transduction and adhesion through its interaction with leukocyte beta-1 integrin VLA4, an interaction that is potentially involved in immune and inflammatory emigration responses of leukocytes. Studies have shown upregulation of VCAM-1 to be critical in responding to inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. VCAM-1 is primarily expressed in endothelial cells and is expressed as two known isoforms found within the cell membrane. Isoform 1 functions as a single-pass type 1 membrane protein, while Isoform 2 acts as a GPI-anchor.
