Gene information for MADCAM1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8174
Official gene symbolMADCAM1
Full namemucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule 1
Aliases,MACAM1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is an endothelial cell adhesion molecule that interacts preferentially with the leukocyte beta7 integrin LPAM-1 (alpha4beta7), L-selectin, and VLA-4 (alpha4beta1) on myeloid cells to direct leukocytes into mucosal and inflamed tissues. It is a member of the immunoglobulin family and is similar to ICAM1 and VCAM1. At least seven alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined.
