Background: MCAM/CD146
MCAM, also known as CD146 and MUC18, is a type I transmembrane adhesion molecule belonging to the Ig superfamily. It is expressed on all endothelial cells, different epithelial cells, multiple lymphocyte subsets and various tumor cells. Two splice isoforms that differ in their cytoplasmic domains and vasolateral localization have been described. A soluble MCAM is shed and can be detected in circulation. The amino acid sequence of rat MCAM is 72% and 90% identical to that of human and mouse MCAM, respectively.
