Biological function summary
CD146 influences the migration and organization of cells within the vascular system. It serves as a component of cell adhesion complexes facilitating interactions between endothelial cells and other cell types. Additionally CD146 contributes to angiogenesis the process by which new blood vessels form from existing vasculature which is critical during tissue development and repair. This function makes it an important element in maintaining normal physiological processes.
Pathways
CD146 participates in the Wnt/β-catenin and MAPK signaling pathways which are vital in cell proliferation and differentiation. Through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway CD146 interacts with other proteins like Frizzled receptors to regulate gene transcription. In the MAPK pathway it is linked with signaling cascades that involve proteins such as ERK leading to cellular responses necessary for growth and response to external stimuli.
