Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is an integral membrane protein, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, and a ligand for lymphocyte function-associated (LFA) antigens, a beta 2 leukocyte integrin. The normal function of human intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is to provide adhesion between endothelial cells and leukocytes after injury or stress. ICAM-1 binds to leukocyte function-associated antigen (LFA-1) or macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1). ICAM-1 is found on leukocytes, fibroblasts, epithelial cells and endothelial cells and its expression is regulated by inflammatory cytokines. ICAM-1 has a tissue distribution similar to that of the major histocompatibility complex class II antigens and is likely to play a role in inflammatory responses. The standard product used in this kit is produced by recombinant gene expression, which is a dimeric protein linked with disulfide bonds. The single chain is Gln28-Asn 485. It has 457 amino acids with the molecular mass of 76.8kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the molecular mass of 110-130KDa is revealed by SDS-PAGE.

Intercellular adhesion molecule 1

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Expressed at low level on a subpopulation of lymphocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells, but is strongly induced on these cells, and on fibroblasts and epithelial cells.
