Function

Seems to play a role in epithelial tight junction formation. Appears early in primordial forms of cell junctions and recruits PARD3 (PubMed:11489913). The association of the PARD6-PARD3 complex may prevent the interaction of PARD3 with JAM1, thereby preventing tight junction assembly (By similarity). Plays a role in regulating monocyte transmigration involved in integrity of epithelial barrier (By similarity). Ligand for integrin alpha-L/beta-2 involved in memory T-cell and neutrophil transmigration (PubMed:11812992). Involved in platelet activation (PubMed:10753840). (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Mammalian reovirus sigma-1. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Human Rotavirus strain Wa.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Junctional Adhesion Molecule 1 also known as JAM-A or JAM-A protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It has a mass of roughly 32 kDa. This molecule functions in tight junctions of epithelial and endothelial cells playing an important role in regulating paracellular permeability. JAM-A is expressed in tissues where tight junctions are present including the skin gastrointestinal tract and endothelia throughout the body.

Biological function summary

JAM-A functions as a cell adhesion molecule influencing processes like leukocyte transmigration and epithelial barrier formation. It does not act alone but rather forms complexes with other proteins at cell junctions. JAM-A interacts with other junctional proteins like occludin and claudins contributing to the structure and function of tight junctions.

Pathways

JAM-A participates in cellular processes involving inflammation and cell migration. It is an integral part of the signal transduction pathways that regulate leukocyte migration an important aspect of immune response. JAM-A is also associated with G-protein coupled receptors in these pathways highlighting its role in regulating intracellular signaling that affects cell adhesion and migration.

Associated diseases and disorders

JAM-A has connections with cancer progression and cardiovascular diseases. Its overexpression has been linked to several cancers including breast cancer due to its role in enhancing cell migration and invasion. In cardiovascular diseases JAM-A interacts with platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) influencing the inflammatory response within vascular tissues. Understanding these interactions can aid in developing therapeutic strategies targeting JAM-A in related diseases.

    Western blot - Anti-Junctional Adhesion Molecule 1/JAM-A antibody (ab125886)

    Junctional Adhesion Molecule 1/JAM-A contains a number of potential glycosylation sites (SwissProt) which may explain its migration at a higher molecular weight than predicted. The predicted molecular weight of Junctional Adhesion Molecule 1/JAM-A is 32 kDa (SwissProt), however we expect to observe a banding pattern around 42 kDa. This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 5% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab125886 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution.
