Preparation and Storage

Background: ICAM-1/CD54

ICAM-1 (InterCellular Adhesion Molecule-1), also known as CD54, is an 85-93 kDa member of the Immunoglobulin supergene family of molecules. Mouse ICAM-1 is a 510 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains five C2-type Ig-like domains in a 458 aa extracellular domain (ECD) (aa 28-485). It is expressed constitutively by, or inducibly on, a very wide variety of cells, including neurons, dendritic cells, fibroblasts, skeletal muscle myocytes, keratinocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, hepatocytes, monocytes and vascular endothelial cells. On the cell surface, it exists primarily as an "intermediate" between a homodimeric and monomeric state. The homodimeric pairing does not seem to offer a distinct advantage with respect to ligand binding. On the other hand, the degree of glycosylation has a marked impact on ICAM-1 ligand binding, with under-glycosylation associated with low affinity ligand binding. Ligands for ICAM-1 include LFA-1 ( alpha L beta 2), Mac-1 ( alpha M beta 2), CD11c/CD18, fibrinogen, hyaluronan and select rhinoviruses. Notably, ICAM-1 is recognized to be a potential coreceptor for HGF, acting in concert with c-Met during ligand binding. ICAM-1 is best known for its role in white cell trafficking (leukocyte binding to endothelium), and is also reported to play a key role in the establishment of CD8⁺ T cell memory, serving as a link between mature dendritic cells and naïve CD8⁺ T cells. Over its ECD, mouse ICAM-1 shares 78% and 54% aa sequence identity with rat and human ICAM-1 ECD, respectively. There is one isoform variant for mouse ICAM-1 listed in SwissProt that shows a 28 aa substitution for aa 1-34.
