Target Details for MCAM

Target: MCAM (Melanoma Cell Adhesion Molecule (MCAM))

Alternative Name: MCAM

Background: MCAM plays a role in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. Its expression may allow melanoma cells to interact with cellular elements of the vascular system, thereby enhancing hematogeneous tumor spread. MCAM could be an adhesion molecule active in neural crest cells during embryonic development. MCAM acts as surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of FYN and PTK2, and a transient increase in the intracellular calcium concentration.
