Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** MCAM is a transmembrane glycoprotein composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, which are responsible for its cell surface binding properties. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, which includes molecules such as integrins, selectins, and cadherins. MCAM is expressed on the surface of various cell types, including pericytes, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells, and is involved in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling. Its expression is upregulated in response to inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and other signaling molecules. **Pathways and Functions:** MCAM is involved in several key signaling pathways, including: 1. **Rho GTPase Cycle:** MCAM interacts with various Rho GTPases, including Rac1, Rac2, Rac3, Rhoa, Rhob, Rhoc, Rhod, Rhof, Rhog, and Rho, to regulate cell migration, cytoskeleton organization, and cell proliferation. 2. **Cell Migration:** MCAM facilitates cell migration by interacting with integrins, which are involved in the regulation of cell adhesion and migration. 3. **Angiogenesis:** MCAM is involved in the regulation of angiogenesis by interacting with endothelial cells and promoting the formation of new blood vessels. 4. **Inflammation:** MCAM is upregulated in response to inflammatory cytokines and growth factors, and is involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses. **Clinical Significance:** MCAM has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer:** MCAM is overexpressed in several types of cancer, including melanoma, breast cancer, and lung cancer, and is involved in tumor progression and metastasis. 2. **Cardiovascular Disease:** MCAM is involved in the regulation of vascular remodeling and is upregulated in response to cardiovascular disease. 3. **Inflammation:** MCAM is upregulated in response to inflammatory cytokines and is involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses. 4. **Neurological Disorders:** MCAM is involved in the regulation of neuronal migration and is upregulated in response to neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, MCAM is a key player in cell adhesion, migration, and angiogenesis, and its dysregulation is implicated in various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation. Further studies are needed to fully understand the role of MCAM in these diseases and to develop therapeutic strategies to target MCAM for the treatment of these conditions. **Significantly Expressed Cells:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of various cell types, including: 1. **Renal Interstitial Pericyte:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of renal interstitial pericytes and is involved in the regulation of renal function. 2. **Kidney Interstitial Cell:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of kidney interstitial cells and is involved in the regulation of kidney function. 3. **Endocardial Cell:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of endocardial cells and is involved in the regulation of cardiac function. 4. **Supporting Cell:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of supporting cells and is involved in the regulation of tissue function. 5. **Ciliary Muscle Cell:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of ciliary muscle cells and is involved in the regulation of ocular function. 6. **Contractile Cell:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of contractile cells and is involved in the regulation of muscle function. 7. **Type EC Enteroendocrine Cell:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of type EC enteroendocrine cells and is involved in the regulation of gastrointestinal function. 8. **Smooth Muscle Cell:** MCAM is expressed on the surface of smooth muscle cells and is involved in the regulation of muscle function. **Proteins:** MCAM is composed of a single protein chain, which is composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains. The protein is involved in cell surface binding and signaling, and is upregulated in response to inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. **Ensembl ID:** The Ensembl ID for MCAM is ENSG00000076706. **Pathways/Ontology:** MCAM is involved in several key pathways, including: 1. **Anatomical structure morphogenesis** 2. **Angiogenesis** 3. **Cell adhesion** 4. **External side of plasma membrane** 5. **Extracellular region** 6. **Extracellular space** 7. **Focal adhesion** 8. **Glomerular filtration** 9. **Plasma membrane** 10. **Positive regulation of cell migration** 11. **Rac1 gtpase cycle** 12. **Rac2 gtpase cycle** 13. **Rac3 gtpase cycle** 14. **Rhoa gtpase cycle** 15. **Rhob gtpase cycle** 16. **Rhoc gtpase cycle** 17. **Rhod gtpase cycle** 18. **Rhof gtpase cycle** 19. **Rhog gtpase cycle** 20. **Rho gtpase cycle** 21. **Signaling by rho gtpases** 22. **Signal transduction** 23. **Vascular wound healing** In conclusion, MCAM is a key player in cell adhesion, migration, and angiogenesis, and its dysregulation is implicated in various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation. Further studies are needed to fully understand the role of MCAM in these diseases and to develop therapeutic strategies to target MCAM for the treatment of these conditions.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
