CD106 (also known as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and INCAM-110) is a member of the Ig superfamily of adhesion molecules and is expressed at high levels on cytokine stimulated vascular endothelial cells, and at minimal levels on unstimulated endothelial cells. It is also present on follicular and interfollicular dendritic cells of lymph nodes, myoblasts, and some macrophages. CD106 serves as a ligand for leukocyte integrin alphaBeta (VLA-4 or CD49d/CD29) and mediates cell adhesion of leukocytes to activated endothelium. It plays a role in tumor metastasis.Synonyms: INCAM-100, L1CAM, V-CAM 1, VCAM-1, Vascular cell adhesion protein 1
