Gene information for VCAM1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7412
Official gene symbolVCAM1
Full namevascular cell adhesion molecule 1
Aliases,CD106,DKFZp779G2333,INCAM-100,MGC99561,
Gene summaryThis 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. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
