CD62E is also known as endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule 1 (ELAM1) or E selectin. It is a type I membrane protein that belongs to the selectin family of surface molecules (along with CD62L and CD62P). Selectins are C type cell surface lectins that play a role in leukocyte adhesion to the blood vessel wall endothelium. CD62E (E selectin) is an endothelial cell specific selectin that is expressed on cytokine induced endothelial cells only after activation with proinflammatory cytokines. In vitro experiments have shown that IL1, TNFalpha and bacterial wall components like lipopolysaccharides induce the transcription of CD62E in an NFkB dependent signalling cascade.
