Description
The protein encoded by this gene is an endothelial cell adhesion molecule that interacts preferentially with the leukocyte beta7 integrin LPAM-1 (alpha4beta7), L-selectin, and VLA-4 (alpha4beta1) on myeloid cells to direct leukocytes into mucosal and inflamed tissues. It is a member of the immunoglobulin family and is similar to ICAM1 and VCAM1. At least seven alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined.
Bio-activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Human Integrin alpha 4 beta 7 Protein is immobilized at 1.00 μg/mL (100 μL/well), Biotinylated Recombinant Human MAdCAM-1 His-tag Avi-tag binds with an ED50 of 0.150-1.50 μg/mL.
