Index JAM2

Junctional adhesion molecule B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the JAM2 gene. [1]

Cluster of differentiation

The cluster of differentiation (also known as cluster of designation or classification determinant and often abbreviated as CD) is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules providing targets for immunophenotyping of cells.

Endothelium

Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

High endothelial venules

High endothelial venules (HEV) are specialized post-capillary venous swellings characterized by plump endothelial cells as opposed to the usual thinner endothelial cells found in regular venules.

Immunoglobulin domain

The immunoglobulin domain is a type of protein domain that consists of a 2-layer sandwich of 7-9 antiparallel β-strands arranged in two β-sheets with a Greek key topology, consisting of about 125 amino acids.

Integrin

Integrins are transmembrane receptors that facilitate cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion.

Lymphatic system

The lymphatic system is part of the vascular system and an important part of the immune system, comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin, lympha meaning "water") directionally towards the heart.

Lymphocyte

A lymphocyte is one of the subtypes of white blood cell in a vertebrate's immune system.

Lymphocyte homing receptor

Lymphocyte homing receptors are cell adhesion molecules expressed on lymphocyte cell membranes that recognize addressins on target tissues.

Paracellular transport

Paracellular transport refers to the transfer of substances across an epithelium by passing through the intercellular space between the cells.

PARD3

Partitioning defective 3 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PARD3 gene.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

New!!: JAM2 and Protein · See more »

Protein–protein interaction

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are the physical contacts of high specificity established between two or more protein molecules as a result of biochemical events steered by electrostatic forces including the hydrophobic effect.

Tight junction

Tight junctions, also known as occluding junctions or zonulae occludentes (singular, zonula occludens) are multiprotein junctional complex whose general function is to prevent leakage of transported solutes and water and seals the paracellular pathway.

VLA-4

Integrin α4β1 (Very Late Antigen-4) is an integrin dimer.

New!!: JAM2 and VLA-4 · See more »

White blood cell

White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.
