cd05755: Ig2_ICAM-1_like (this model, PSSM-Id:143232 is obsolete and has been replaced by 409413)
Second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54) and similar proteins
Ig2_ ICAM-1_like: domain similar to the second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54). During the inflammation process, these molecules recruit leukocytes onto the vascular endothelium before extravasation to the injured tissues. ICAM-1 may be involved in organ targeted tumor metastasis. The interaction of ICAM-1 with leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) plays a part in leukocyte-endothelial cell recognition. This group also contains ICAM-2, which also interacts with LFA-1. Transmigration of immature dendritic cells across resting endothelium is dependent on the interaction of ICAM-2 with, yet unidentified, ligand(s) on the dendritic cells. ICAM-1 has five Ig-like domains and ICAM-2 has two. ICAM-1 may also act as host receptor for viruses and parasites.
