Description
VCAM1, also known as vascular cell adhesion protein 1 isoform, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a cell surface protein expressed by activated endothelial cells and certain leukocytes. VCAM1 expression is induced on endothelial cells during inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, allograft rejection and asthmatic responses. During the inflammatory adhesion mechanism, activated integrins that rolling leukocytes and attach them firmly to the vascular endothelium. Recombinant human VCAM1, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
