- Extra Details:
- Source : Human Cells;Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (PECAM1; CD31); is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. CD31 is composed of an extracellular domain (ECD) of 574 amino acids (aa) containing six Ig-like domains; a transmembrane domain; and a 118 aa cytoplasmic domain. CD31 is highly expressed on endothelial cells and at a lower level on platelets; granulocytes; macrophages; dendritic cells; T and B cells; and natural killer (NK) cells. It is involved in cell adhesion and is required for transepithelial migration of leukocytes (TEM). CD31 acts as a homophilic receptor through its extracellular domain and is involved in downstream signaling via its cytoplasmic domain. This domain contains highly conserved ITIM motifs which; once tyrosine phosphorylated; recruit and activate the signaling molecules Src and SHP2. The resulting inhibition of TCR signaling increases the activation threshold of T cells; thus reinforcing peripheral tolerance and preventing development of autoimmunity. CD31 additionally regulates immune responses by acting as a key inhibitory receptor in dendritic cell development. CD31 is required for the transendothelial migration of leukocytes through intercellular junctions of vascular endothelial cells.
