General description

CD31, also known as platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM1), is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface receptors. It is constitutively expressed on the surface of endothelial cells, and concentrated at the junction between them. It is also weakly expressed on many peripheral lymphoid cells and platelets.

CD31 has been used to measure angiogenesis in association with tumor recurrence. Other studies have also indicated that CD31 and CD34 can be used as markers for myeloid progenitor cells and recognize different subsets of myeloid leukemia infiltrates (granular sarcomas).

Specificity

React s with the 130-140 kDa protein, PECAM-1 found on mouse monocytes, platelets, granulocytes and endothelial cells. 2H8 effectively inhibits transmigration of activated polymophonuclear cells and monocytes across the endothelium. In a mouse model for acute peritonis - 2H8 blocks acute inflammation.
