Name | BCAM |

Synonyms | LU, MSK19 |
Function | Transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as both a receptor and an adhesion molecule playing a crucial role in cell adhesion, motility, migration and invasion (PubMed:9616226, PubMed:31413112). Extracellular domain enables binding to extracellular matrix proteins, such as laminin, integrin and other ligands while its intracellular domain interacts with cytoskeletal proteins like hemoglobin, facilitating cell signal transduction (PubMed:17158232). Serves as a receptor for laminin alpha-5/LAMA5 to promote cell adhesion (PubMed:15975931). Mechanistically, JAK2 induces BCAM phosphorylation and activates its adhesion to laminin by stimulating a Rap1/AKT signaling pathway in the absence of EPOR (PubMed:23160466). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Wide tissue distribution (highest in the pancreas and very low in brain). Closely associated with the basal layer of cells in epithelia and the endothelium of blood vessel walls |
