Human Mucosal Addressin Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (MADCAM-1) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Addressin is an extracellular protein of the endothelium of venules. Addressins are the ligands to the homing receptors of lymphocytes.The task of these ligands and their receptors is to determine which tissue the lymphocyte will enter next. The carry carbohydrates in order to be recognized by L-selectin. The predicted amino acid sequence defines the mucosal addressin as a novel immunoglobulin family member with 2 N-terminal domains that display strong homology to previously described vascular adhesion receptors for leukocytes: ICAM1 and VCAM1. The membrane proximal domain is homologous to the third domain of another mucosa-associated member of the immunoglobulin family, namely, IgA1.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is an endothelial cell adhesion molecule that interacts preferentially with the leukocyte beta7 integrin LPAM-1 (alpha4beta7), L-selectin, and VLA-4 (alpha4beta1) on myeloid cells to direct leukocytes into mucosal and inflamed tissues. It is a member of the immunoglobulin family and is similar to ICAM1 and VCAM1. At least seven alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined.

Uniprot Description
MADCAM1: Cell adhesion leukocyte receptor expressed by mucosal venules, helps to direct lymphocyte traffic into mucosal tissues including the Peyer patches and the intestinal lamina propria. It can bind both integrin alpha-4/beta-7 and L-selectin, regulating both the passage and retention of leukocytes. Isoform 2, lacking the mucin-like domain, may be specialized in supporting integrin alpha-4/beta-7-dependent adhesion strengthening, independent of L- selectin binding. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human MADCAM-1 madcam1 (Catalog #AAA9715420) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715420 ELISA Kit recognizes Human MADCAM-1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Mucosal Addressin Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (MADCAM-1), 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
