| Function |
Acts as a ligand for vascular selectins. Mediates rapid rolling of leukocytes over vascular surfaces through high affinity divalent cation-dependent interactions with E-, P- and L- selectins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18606703}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in T-cells, B-cells and monocytes. Expression is higher on memory and germinal center cells than on naive B-cells (at protein level). Highly expressed in brain. Moderately expressed in pancreas, kidney and lymphoid node. Weakly expressed in liver. Detected in both endothelial cells and CD34+ bone marrow cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10722749, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18606703}.
