JAM-A, Mouse, mAb BV12

Product Details

• The monoclonal antibody BV12 recognizes junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A), also known as JAM-1 and the mouse platelet F11-Receptor (F11R), is a cell adhesion molecule (CAM). JAM-A is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily found on the surface of mouse platelets and at intercellular junctions of endothelial cells and epithelial cells. JAM-A belongs together with JAM-B (VE-JAM or JAM-3) and JAM-C (JAM-2) to a family of adhesion proteins with a V-C2 immunoglobulin domain organization. JAM plays an important role in tight junctions where it is involved in cell-to-cell adhesion through homophilic interaction. It codistributes with other tight junction components as ZO-1, 7H6 antigen, cingulin and occludin. In human JAM-A plays a role in platelet aggregation, secretion, adhesion and spreading.
