Recombinant Human Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P05362

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ICAM1

Target Full Name

Intercellular adhesion molecule 1

Target Function

ICAM proteins are ligands for the leukocyte adhesion protein LFA-1 (integrin alpha-L/beta-2). During leukocyte trans-endothelial migration, ICAM1 engagement promotes the assembly of endothelial apical cups through ARHGEF26/SGEF and RHOG activation.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for major receptor group rhinovirus A-B capsid proteins.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Coxsackievirus A21 capsid proteins.; (Microbial infection) Upon Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus/HHV-8 infection, is degraded by viral E3 ubiquitin ligase MIR2, presumably to prevent lysis of infected cells by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and NK cell.

Target Background

This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein which is typically expressed on endothelial cells and cells of the immune system. It binds to integrins of type CD11a / CD18, or CD11b / CD18 and is also exploited by Rhinovirus as a receptor.
