CD62L (L-selectin) is an adhesion glycoprotein that is constitutively expressed on the cell surface of leukocytes and mediates their homing to inflammatory sites and peripheral lymph nodes by enabling rolling along the venular wall. CD62L is also involved in activation-induced neutrophil aggregation. Activation-dependent CD62L shedding, however, counteracts neutrophil rolling. CD62L has also signaling roles including enhance of chemokine receptor expression. Similarly to CD62P, the major ligand of CD62L is PSGL-1 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1). The level of CD62L expression can be used to help distinguish naive T cells from effector/memory T cells.Synonyms: CD62 antigen-like family member L, LAM-1, LECAM1, LNHR, LYAM1, Leu-8, Leukocyte adhesion molecule 1, Leukocyte surface antigen Leu-8, Leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1, Lymph node homing receptor, SELL, TQ1, gp90-MEL
