Target Details for MCAM

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

Alternative Name: MCAM

Background: The human Mel-CAM gene maps to chromosome 11q23 and encodes a trans-membrane glycoprotein, also designated MCAM, MUC 18 or CD146, that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and functions as a Ca2+-independent cell adhesion molecule. Mel-CAM expression is restricted to advanced primary and metastatic melanomas and to cell lines of the neuroectodermal lineage, but not normal melanocytes. Mel-CAM is found on 80 % of advanced primary human melanomas and correlates well with development of metastatic disease.
