About PECAM1

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

PECAM1 (CD31) is an immunoglobulin-superfamily cell adhesion receptor expressed prominently at endothelial cell junctions and on platelets and several leukocyte populations. It contributes to leukocyte transendothelial migration, vascular integrity, angiogenic responses and integrin-related signalling.

Experimental context

Research context

PECAM1 is widely studied in endothelial junctions, vascular biology, leukocyte trafficking, angiogenesis, platelet biology and inflammation. Reagent selection should consider species, vascular or immune-cell context, sample type, assay format, application and supporting validation.
