About E-Selectin
The protein encoded by this gene is found in cytokine-stimulated endothelial cells and is thought to be responsible for the accumulation of blood leukocytes at sites of inflammation by mediating the adhesion of cells to the vascular lining. It exhibits structural features such as the presence of lectin- and EGF-like domains followed by short consensus repeat (SCR) domains that contain 6 conserved cysteine residues. These proteins are part of the selectin family of cell adhesion molecules. Adhesion molecules participate in the interaction between leukocytes and the endothelium and appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About Brilliant Violet 650
Brilliant™ Violet 650 (BV650) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 660/20 bandpass filter. BV650 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an emission peak at 645 nm. Due to its unique Stokes shift, not many dyes have identical excitation and emission spectrums, but the nearest alternatives include SuperBright 645, Qdot® 655 and eFluor™ 650NC (ThermoFisher). BV650 exhibits a medium level of brightness and is most often used in flow cytometry, specifically, it is an alternative to nanocrystals used for intracellular flow. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ Violet dye line of fluorescent polymers. Brilliant™ Violet 421 polymer is employed as the donor molecule in a series of tandem dyes with acceptor molecules emitting at various points across the visible light spectrum. The Brilliant™ Violet dyes are a superior alternative to QDot nanocrystals and similar to SuperNova dye from Beckman Coulter and StarBright dyes from Bio-Rad.
