Background

Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (ESAM) is a 55 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein member of the JAM family of immunoglobulin superfamily molecules. The 390 amino acid Human ESAM contains a 216 amino acid extracellular domain (ECD) with a V-type and a C2-type immunoglobulin (Ig) domain. ESAM is specifically expressed at endothelial tight junctions and on activated platelets and performs homophilic adhesion activity. The adaptor protein membrane-associated guanylate kinase MAGI-1 has been identified as an intracellular binding partner of ESAM. In addition; ESAM at endothelial tight junctions participates in the migration of neutrophils through the vessel wall; possibly by influencing endothelial cell contacts. ESAM-deficient mice were described with lowered angiogenic potential; and accordingly; overexpression of ESAM is closely associated with certain tumor growth and metastasis. ESAM is expressed on endothelial cells; activated platelets and megakaryocytes. The ECD of human and mouse ESAM share 69% amino acid identity.
