Rabbit Anti-JAM2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, and the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) family. The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane protein that is localized at the tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. It acts as an adhesive ligand for interacting with a variety of immune cell types, and may play a role in lymphocyte homing to secondary lymphoid organs. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
Function:
May play a role in the processes of lymphocyte homing to secondary lymphoid organs.
Subcellular Location:
Cell junction > tight junction. Cell membrane. Localized at tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells.
Tissue Specificity:
Highest expression in the heart, placenta, lung, foreskin and lymph node. Prominently expressed on high endothelial venules, also present on the endothelia of other vessels. Localized to the intercellular boundaries of high endothelial cells.
Similarity:
Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily.
Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
Contains 1 Ig-like SLVtype (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
