Biochem/physiol Actions

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a member of immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. It is an inducible transmembrane glycoprotein. ICAM-1 mediates adhesion of circulating leukocytes to the endothelial membrane and blood vessel. ICAM-1 might cause atherosclerosis and the polymorphism in ICAM-1 has reduced risk to cardiovascular diseases. IL-6 induces the upregulation of ICAM-1 and leads to metastasis of osteosarcoma cells. ICAM-1 causes invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells. ICAM-1 is an important receptor for rhinovirus and Haemophilus influenzae binding. Upregulation of ICAM-1 in the respiratory tract of chronic airway limitation patients increases the risk of respiratory infections.
