Biological function summary

E-selectin facilitates leukocyte adhesion by binding specific carbohydrate ligands on the surface of circulating immune cells. This binding is critical in the cascade of events that leads to leukocyte extravasation into tissues. E-selectin does not work in isolation rather forming part of a complex interaction with other cell adhesion molecules such as P-selectin and L-selectin. These interactions ensure precise control of cellular traffic during inflammatory responses.

Pathways

CD62E engages in the inflammatory signaling pathways including the NF-kB pathway. This pathway modulates the expression of E-selectin in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. CD62E interacts with integrins on leukocytes and has downstream effects on cellular processes involved in immune response. Its cooperation with proteins like ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 further integrates it into a network of adhesion molecules maintaining vascular stability and immune surveillance.
