Cloning of an Immunoglobulin Family Adhesion Molecule Selectively Expressed by Endothelial Cells
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
To gain fundamental information regarding the molecular basis of endothelial cell adhesive interactions during vascular formation, we have cloned and characterized a unique cell adhesion molecule. This molecule, named endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM), is a new member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The conceptual protein encoded by cDNA clones consists of V-type and C2-type immunoglobulin...
