CD31 Polyclonal Antibody

Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1, CD31) is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. It is highly expressed on the surface of the endothelium, making up a large portion of its intracellular junctions. PECAM-1 is also present on the surface of hematopoietic cells and immune cells including platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, natural killer cells, megakaryocytes and some types of T-cell . As well as its role in cell-cell adhesion, PECAM-1 functions as a signaling receptor, and is involved in important physiological events such as nitric oxide production, regulation of T-cell immunity and tolerance, leukocyte transendothelial migration and inflammation and angiogenesis .
