Human JAM-A PicoKine ELISA Kit
Background: Junctional adhesion molecule A(JAM-A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the F11R gene. It is mapped to 1q23.3. This gene is an immunoglobulin-like molecule that colocalizes with tight junctions in endothelium and epithelium and is also found on blood leukocytes and platelets. JAM-A plays an important role in the regulation of tight junction assembly in epithelia. In addition, it can act as a receptor for reovirus, a ligand for the integrin LFA1, involved in leukocyte transmigration, and a platelet receptor. JAM-A has a nonredundant role in controlling DC motility, trafficking to lymph nodes, and activation of specific immunity.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Tight junctions represent one mode of cell-to-cell adhesion in epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, forming continuous seals around cells and serving as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space. The protein encoded by this immunoglobulin superfamily gene member is an important regulator of tight junction assembly in epithelia. In addition, the encoded protein can act as (1) a receptor for reovirus, (2) a ligand for the integrin LFA1, involved in leukocyte transmigration, and (3) a platelet receptor. Multiple 5' alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified but their biological validity has not been established. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
JAM-A: Seems to play a role in epithelial tight junction formation. Appears early in primordial forms of cell junctions and recruits PARD3. The association of the PARD6-PARD3 complex may prevent the interaction of PARD3 with JAM1, thereby preventing tight junction assembly. Plays a role in regulating monocyte transmigration involved in integrity of epithelial barrier. Involved in platelet activation. In case of orthoreovirus infection, serves as receptor for the virus. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily.

Product Notes
The Human F11R f11r (Catalog #AAA177253) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA177253 ELISA Kit recognizes Human F11R. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "JAM-A, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
