Gene information for ICAM3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3385
Official gene symbolICAM3
Full nameintercellular adhesion molecule 3
Aliases,CD50,CDW50,ICAM-R,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family. All ICAM proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins, contain 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains, and bind to the leukocyte adhesion LFA-1 protein. This protein is constitutively and abundantly expressed by all leucocytes and may be the most important ligand for LFA-1 in the initiation of the immune response. It functions not only as an adhesion molecule, but also as a potent signalling molecule. [provided by RefSeq]
