The protein encoded byThis 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]

Function:
This protein is a cell adhesion molecule expressed on platelets and at endothelial cell intercellular junctions.,online information:CD31 entry,online information:PECAM-1,online information:The Singapore human mutation and polymorphism database,PTM:Phosphorylated on Ser and Tyr residues after cellular activation.,similarity:Contains 6 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,tissue specificity:Long isoform predominates all tissues examined, isoform Delta12 was detected only in trachea and isoform Delta14-15 only in lung, isoform Delta14 was detected in all tissues examined with the strongest expression in heart.,

Cellular Localization:
Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Cell surface expression on neutrophils is down-regulated upon fMLP or CXCL8/IL8-mediated stimulation. .; [Isoform Long]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Membrane raft . Cell junction . Localizes to the lateral border recycling compartment (LBRC) and recycles from the LBRC to the junction in resting endothelial cells. .; [Isoform Delta15]: Cell junction . Localizes to the lateral border recycling compartment (LBRC) and recycles from the LBRC to the junction in resting endothelial cells.
