Background

MADCAM1 (Mucosal Vascular Addressin Cell Adhesion Molecule 1), also known as MACAM1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MADCAM1 gene. By PCR-based analysis of somatic cell hybrids, Leung et al. (1997) mapped the MACAM1 gene to chromosome 19. The protein encoded by this gene is an endothelil cell adhesion molecule that interacts preferentially with the leukocyte beta7 integrin LPAM-1 (alpha4 / beta7), L-selectin, and VLA-4 (alpha4/beta1) on myeloid cells to leukocytes into mucosal and inflamed tissues. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is similar to ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.

Function

Cell adhesion leukocyte receptor expressed by mucosal venules, helps to lymphocyte traffic into mucosal tissues including the Peyer patches and the intestinal lamina propria. It can bind both integrin alpha-4/beta-7 and L-selectin, regulating both the passage and retention of leukocytes. Isoform 2, lacking the mucin-like domain, may be specialized in supporting integrin alpha-4/beta-7-dependent adhesion strengthening, independent of L- selectin binding.
