CD50 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family. All ICAM proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins, contain 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains, and bind to the leukocyte adhesion LFA-1 protein. This protein is constitutively and abundantly expressed by all leucocytes and may be the most important ligand for LFA-1 in the initiation of the immune response. It functions not only as an adhesion molecule, but also as a potent signalling molecule. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016], function:ICAM proteins are ligands for the leukocyte adhesion protein LFA-1 (integrin alpha-L/beta-2) . ICAM3 is also a ligand for integrin alpha-D/beta-2., online information:ICAM-3, PTM:N-glycosylated; glycans consist of a mixture of tri- and tetra-antennary complex-type chains and high-mannose chains., PTM:Upon stimulation by a physiologic stimuli becomes rapidly and transiently phosphorylated on serine residues., similarity:Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. ICAM family., similarity:Contains 5 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
