INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION: For use a quantitative control for the determination of human E-Selectin/CD62E concentrations in biological fluids. Controls are supplied lyophilized. Please refer to the lot specific certificate of analysis and Simple Plex Lyophilized Quality Control product insert for additional information.
The Selectin family is comprised of three members, E-Selectin, L-Selectin, and P-Selectin. E-Selectin [endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), CD62E] is transiently expressed on vascular endothelial cells in response to IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha. The human and rat proteins share approximately 67% amino acid sequence identity. The mouse and rat proteins share approximately 78% amino acid sequence identity. L-Selectin (Leukocyte Selectin, LAM-1, LECAM-1, LECCAM-1, TQ1, Leu-8, MEL-14 antigen, DREG, lymph node homing receptor, CD62L) is expressed constitutively on a wide variety of leukocytes. Two forms of L-Selectin have been reported, apparently arising as a result of post-translational modifications. Human and mouse L-Selectin share 76% amino acid sequence identity. Human P-Selectin (GMP-140, LECAM-3, PADGEM, CD62P) is expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells. The extracellular domains of human and mouse P-Selectin share approximately 73% amino acid sequence identity.
