Function

Cell adhesion glycoprotein predominantly expressed on the surface of endothelial cells that plays an important role in immune surveillance and inflammation (PubMed:31310649). Acts as a major regulator of leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium through interaction with different types of integrins (PubMed:10209034). During inflammatory responses, binds ligands on the surface of activated endothelial cells to initiate the activation of calcium channels and the plasma membrane-associated small GTPase RAC1 leading to leukocyte transendothelial migration (PubMed:22970700). Serves also as a quality-control checkpoint for entry into bone marrow by providing a 'don't-eat-me' stamping in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I presentation (PubMed:35210567).

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Activity summary

VCAM1 also known as vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 plays an important role in mediating adhesion and signal transduction. VCAM1 has an approximate molecular mass of 110 kDa. It is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and can be upregulated by cytokines released during inflammation. The protein serves as a ligand for the integrin VLA-4 also known as α4β1 and contributes to the adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells.

Biological function summary

Adhesion molecules like VCAM1 participate in immune response by recruiting leukocytes to sites of inflammation. VCAM1 helps guide immune cells to directed locations where they perform defense activities. Although VCAM1 is not part of any known large protein complex its interaction with integrins facilitates the migration of immune cells across the endothelium and into tissue.

Pathways

VCAM1 contributes significantly to the leukocyte extravasation process in inflammatory pathways. It plays a role in both the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway which are essential for immune response and cell signaling. Through these pathways it interacts with proteins like ICAM1 and various chemokines helping to coordinate the immune cell movement through vascular tissue barriers.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal regulation of VCAM1 links to various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. The protein levels may increase in these conditions promoting excessive immune cell recruitment and tissue damage. VCAM1 also interfaces with other proteins like ICAM1 in these pathological states which together contribute to the progression and severity of these diseases.
