Samples, including standards of known VCAM1 concentrations, control specimens or unknowns are pipetted into these wells. During the first incubation, the standards or samples and a biotinylated monoclonal antibody specific for VCAM1 are simultaneously incubated. After washing, the enzyme Streptavidin-HRP, that binds the biotinylated antibody is added, incubated and washed. A TMB substrate solution is added which acts on the bound enzyme to induce a colored reaction product. The intensity of this colored product is directly proportional to the concentration of VCAM1 present in the samples.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis kit will recognize both endogenous and recombinant Human VCAM1.\u003cbr\u003e\nGet results in 90 minutes with Human VCAM1 ELISA Kit (CD106) (\u003cbr\u003e\nab187393\u003cbr\u003e\n) from our SimpleStep ELISA\u003cbr\u003e\nrange.\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\nVCAM1 also known as vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 plays an important role in mediating adhesion and signal transduction. VCAM1 has an approximate molecular mass of 110 kDa. It is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and can be upregulated by cytokines released during inflammation. The protein serves as a ligand for the integrin VLA-4 also known as α4β1 and contributes to the adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAdhesion molecules like VCAM1 participate in immune response by recruiting leukocytes to sites of inflammation. VCAM1 helps guide immune cells to directed locations where they perform defense activities. Although VCAM1 is not part of any known large protein complex its interaction with integrins facilitates the migration of immune cells across the endothelium and into tissue.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nVCAM1 contributes significantly to the leukocyte extravasation process in inflammatory pathways. It plays a role in both the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway which are essential for immune response and cell signaling. Through these pathways it interacts with proteins like ICAM1 and various chemokines helping to coordinate the immune cell movement through vascular tissue barriers.\u003cbr\u003e\nAbnormal regulation of VCAM1 links to various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. The protein levels may increase in these conditions promoting excessive immune cell recruitment and tissue damage. VCAM1 also interfaces with other proteins like ICAM1 in these pathological states which together contribute to the progression and severity of these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843554758825,"sku":"ab46118","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab46118","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
