PECAM1 Homo sapiens

Full name:

platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1

Synonyms:

CD31, CD31/EndoCAM, GPIIA', PECA1, PECAM-1, endoCAM, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule, CD31 antigen, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1

Genomic Location:

Chr 17: 59753595-59817743

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is found on the surface of platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and some types of T-cells, and makes up a large portion of endothelial cell intercellular junctions. The encoded protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is likely involved in leukocyte migration, angiogenesis, and integrin activation.
