Endothelial cell line bEND.3 stained with 1G8/ESAM PE
Description:
Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM) is a 55-kD membrane protein composed of two extracellular Ig domains, a single transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. ESAM is predominantly expressed at endothelial junctions and on platelets, participating in the migration of neutrophils through the vessel wall by influencing endothelial cell contacts. It impacts vascular permeability and extravasation process. Recently, it was reported that ESAM is a novel marker for murine hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in fetal liver. ESAM expression is correlated with HSC activity. The ESAMHi population was highly enriched for multipotent myeloid-erythroid progenitors and primitive progenitors with lymphpoietic activity, and exclusively reconstituted long-term lymphohematopoiesis in lethally irradiated recipients.
Other Names:
Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule
Structure:
A 55-kD membrane protein composed of two extracellular Ig domains, a single transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain.
Distribution:
Expressed at endothelial junctions, platelets, and murine hematopoietic stem cells.
Function:
It impacts vascular permeability and extravasation process. ESAM expression is involved in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity.
