  • integral to plasma membrane
  • type I membrane protein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • mediating the adherence of lymphocytes to endothelial cells of high endothelial venules in peripheral lymph nodes
  • SELL-mediated NK cell recruitment plays a crucial role in the control of tumor metastasis into secondary lymphoid organs
  • role for SELL adhesion system in mediating cytotrophoblast emigration from the placenta
  • KLF2 promotes the expression of the selectin SELL which is involved in T cell trafficking
  • plays a crucial role in the first step of the adhesion cascade, enabling leukocytes to migrate into surrounding tissues during inflammation and immune surveillance (
  • protein intrinsic information of SELL leads to decoration with specific N-glycans, which in turn may be related to L-selectin function (
  • important in the transient attachment of leukocytes to endothelial cells, which plays a role in inflammation processes and is one of the earliest events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis
  • may play a role in the development of ischemic stroke

    INTERACTION

    small molecule other,
  • sugar
  • protein
  • CD34
  • MCAM1
  • KLF2 directly activates the promoters of SELL and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1, whose expression is critical for T cell egress from the thymus and homing to the lymph nodes
  • interacting with CD44 (TM domains of SELL and CD44 play a crucial role in cell adhesion under flow by targeting receptors to microvilli or the cell body, respectively)
  • CALM1 associates with the cytoplasmic domain of SELL to regulate ectodomain shedding of L-selectin on the other side of the plasma membrane
  • interacting with KLF2
  • LRRC32 expression appears to alter the surface expression of activation markers of T cells such as SELL
  • MUC16 is the SELE and SELL ligand expressed by metastatic pancreatic cancer cells
  • PAEP interacts with SELL to induce IL6 production in monocytes/macrophages by activating the ERK signaling pathway
  • over-activation of ADAM17 in NK cells may be detrimental to their effector functions by down-regulating surface expression of FCGR3A and SELL
  • EZR and MSN play mutually exclusive roles in modulating SELL signalling and shedding to control protrusion dynamics and polarity during monocyte transendothelial migration (TEM)
