CD106 / Biotin / REA1078

Product Details

Description	Clone REA1078 recognizes the CD106 antigen, a 110 kDa transmembrane protein also known as vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1). CD106 is expressed on bone marrow stromal cells, myeloid cells, and dendritic cells, but not on peripheral leukocytes. Expression on endothelial cells is upregulated upon inflammatory cytokine stimulation. CD106 (VCAM-1) is an endothelial ligand for the very late antigen-4 (VLA-4 or alpha4beta1) of the beta1 subfamily of integrins, and for integrin alpha4beta7. It mediates the adhesion of lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils to vascular endothelium. CD106 also functions in leukocyte-endothelial cell signal transduction, and it may play a role in the development of atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. \| Additional information: Clone REA1078 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About CD106
This gene is a member of the Ig superfamily and encodes a cell surface sialoglycoprotein expressed by cytokine-activated endothelium. This type I membrane protein mediates leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction, and may play a role in the development of artherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Three alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
