Purified anti-human CD62E

CD62E (also known as E-selectin, ELAM-1, and LECAM-1) is a 115 kD type I membrane protein and a member of the selectin family. CD62E is highly expressed on activated endothelial cells (IL-2, TNF-alpha, other cytokines can increase expression) and can also be expressed on endothelial cells in the skin, bone marrow and placenta. CD62E is involved in tethering and leucocyte rolling on activated endothelium at inflammatory sites and may also play a role in tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. CD62E binds to both Siayl Lewis X (CD15s) and PSGL-1 (CD162).The HAE-1f antibody has been shown to recognize human CD62E and to be useful for flow cytometry and in vitro blocking.
