Description
Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is a type II membrane cell adhesion protein belonging to the copper/topaquinone oxidase family and functions both as an enzyme and an adhesion molecule for lymphocytes. VAP-1 is primarily expressed on the high endothelial venules of peripheral lymph nodes and on hepatic endothelia. Inhibition of VAP-1 can protect against inflammation related damage to certain injured tissues
