JAM-A emerges early in primordial forms of cell junctions and recruits PARD3. The association of the PARD6-PARD3 complex may prevent the interaction of PARD3 with JAM-A, thereby preventing tight junction assembly. JAM-A plays a role in regulating monocyte transmigration involved in integrity of epithelial barrier. JAM-A shares 68.4%, 71.8%, 74.6%, and 97.0% sequence homology with mouse, rat, bovine, and monkey, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nJunctional Adhesion Molecule 1 also known as JAM-A or JAM-A protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It has a mass of roughly 32 kDa. This molecule functions in tight junctions of epithelial and endothelial cells playing an important role in regulating paracellular permeability. JAM-A is expressed in tissues where tight junctions are present including the skin gastrointestinal tract and endothelia throughout the body.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nJAM-A functions as a cell adhesion molecule influencing processes like leukocyte transmigration and epithelial barrier formation. It does not act alone but rather forms complexes with other proteins at cell junctions. JAM-A interacts with other junctional proteins like occludin and claudins contributing to the structure and function of tight junctions.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nJAM-A participates in cellular processes involving inflammation and cell migration. It is an integral part of the signal transduction pathways that regulate leukocyte migration an important aspect of immune response. JAM-A is also associated with G-protein coupled receptors in these pathways highlighting its role in regulating intracellular signaling that affects cell adhesion and migration.\u003cbr\u003e\nJAM-A has connections with cancer progression and cardiovascular diseases. Its overexpression has been linked to several cancers including breast cancer due to its role in enhancing cell migration and invasion. In cardiovascular diseases JAM-A interacts with platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) influencing the inflammatory response within vascular tissues. Understanding these interactions can aid in developing therapeutic strategies targeting JAM-A in related diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843588673705,"sku":"ab277079","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab277079","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
