Vascular Cell
Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein found in the endothelial cells of blood vessels. It plays a key role in many physiological processes, including cell-to-cell adhesion and inflammation. VCAM-1 is implicated in the development of various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. VCAM-1 has been studied to explore potential therapeutic targets and new treatments for these and other diseases. VCAM-1 may also be useful for understanding how cell-cell interactions regulate the immune system, allowing for the development of novel immunotherapies.
