CD106 Monoclonal / Biotin / MR106

Product Details

Description	Clone MR106 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 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.

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]
