Svensk definition
Adhesionsmolekyler som finns i stort sett på alla monocyter, blodplättar och granulocyter. CD31 är starkt representerade på endotelceller och koncentrerade till kontaktytorna mellan dem.
Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1
CD31-antigener
Engelsk definition
A cell adhesion molecule, composed of a series of Ig-like domains, and expressed on virtually all MONOCYTES; PLATELETS; and GRANULOCYTES. PECAM-1 is highly expressed on endothelial cells and concentrated at the junctions between them. It is essential for TRANSENDOTHELIAL MIGRATION of leukocytes and removal of apoptotic cells by PHAGOCYTES.
