Function

ICAM proteins are ligands for the leukocyte adhesion protein LFA-1 (integrin alpha-L/beta-2). During leukocyte trans-endothelial migration, ICAM1 engagement promotes the assembly of endothelial apical cups through ARHGEF26/SGEF and RHOG activation (By similarity).

Post-translational modifications

Monoubiquitinated, which is promoted by MARCH9 and leads to endocytosis.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. ICAM family.

Tissue specificity

Expressed at low level on a subpopulation of lymphocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells, but is strongly induced on these cells, and on fibroblasts and epithelial cells.
