PECAM1( Human )
platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1
Alias
CD31|CD31/EndoCAM|GPIIA'|PECA1|PECAM-1|endoCAM
The protein encoded by this gene is found on the surface of platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and some types of T-cells, and makes up a large portion of endothelial cell intercellular junctions. The encoded protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is likely involved in leukocyte migration, angiogenesis, and integrin activation. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010].
