Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP03033
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Cell surface glycoprotein MUC18
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. CD146 antigen
  2. Cell surface glycoprotein P1H12
  3. Melanoma cell adhesion molecule
  4. Melanoma-associated antigen A32
  5. Melanoma-associated antigen MUC18
  6. S-endo 1 endothelial-associated antigen
Gene Name MCAM
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in anatomical structure morphogenesis
Specific Function Plays a role in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. Its expression may allow melanoma cells to interact with cellular elements of the vascular system, thereby enhancing hematogeneous tumor spread. Could be an adhesion molecule active in neural crest cells during embryonic development. Acts as surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of FYN and PTK2, and a transient increase in the intracellular calcium concentration
