Recombinant Human VCAM-1/CD106 Fc Avi-tag Protein, CF

This product is produced by and ships from R&D Systems, Inc., a Bio-Techne brand.

Human VCAM-1 (CD106, INCAM-110) is a cell adhesion molecule and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Alternatively spliced forms are known to occur, but the most common form is a type I transmembrane protein with a 674 amino acid extracellular segment that includes seven C2-type immunoglobulin domains. VCAM-1 is expressed by activated endothelial cells and certain other cell types including macrophages, dendritic cells, neurons, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, and oocytes. VCAM-1 binds to leukocyte integrins alpha 4 beta 1 (VLA-4) and alpha 4 beta 7. During the inflammatory adhesion mechanism, activated integrins halt rolling leukocytes and attach them firmly to the vascular endothelium. They do this by binding to their ligands, for example VCAM-1, on endothelium. The VCAM-1:VLA-4/ alpha 4 beta 7 interaction is also thought to be involved in the extravasation of white blood cells through the blood vessel wall to sites of inflammation. ELISA techniques have shown that detectable levels of soluble VCAM-1 are present in the biological fluids of apparently normal individuals. Furthermore, a number of studies have reported that levels of VCAM-1 may be elevated or lowered in subjects with a variety of pathological conditions. Our Avi-tag Biotinylated human VCAM-1 Fc Chimera features biotinylation at a single site contained within the Avi-tag, a unique 15 amino acid peptide. Protein orientation will be uniform when bound to streptavidin-coated surface due to the precise control of biotinylation and the rest of the protein is unchanged so there is no interference in the protein's bioactivity.
