Product details:
Abcam's CD62E (Selectin) Human ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an
in vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human CD62E in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human CD62E coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and CD62E present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human CD62E antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CD62E bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.
Optimization may be required with urine samples

CD62E also known as E-selectin or ELAM-1 is a cell adhesion molecule with a mass of approximately 115 kDa. It is present mainly on endothelial cells activated by cytokines. As a transmembrane glycoprotein E-selectin plays a mechanical role in mediating the tethering and rolling of leukocytes on the vascular endothelium during the inflammatory response. This function is important in directing leukocytes to sites of tissue damage or infection.
Biological function summary
E-selectin facilitates leukocyte adhesion by binding specific carbohydrate ligands on the surface of circulating immune cells. This binding is critical in the cascade of events that leads to leukocyte extravasation into tissues. E-selectin does not work in isolation rather forming part of a complex interaction with other cell adhesion molecules such as P-selectin and L-selectin. These interactions ensure precise control of cellular traffic during inflammatory responses.
Pathways
CD62E engages in the inflammatory signaling pathways including the NF-kB pathway. This pathway modulates the expression of E-selectin in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. CD62E interacts with integrins on leukocytes and has downstream effects on cellular processes involved in immune response. Its cooperation with proteins like ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 further integrates it into a network of adhesion molecules maintaining vascular stability and immune surveillance.
E-selectin expression is highly relevant in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. These disorders involve chronic inflammation where the persistent activation of endothelial cells and overexpression of E-selectin contribute to pathology. The link with ICAM-1 in these settings suggests a mutual regulation between cell adhesion molecules enhancing leukocyte recruitment to inflamed tissues. This makes E-selectin not only a marker of endothelial activation but also a potential therapeutic target for modulating leukocyte adhesion in inflammatory diseases.
