    basic FUNCTION
  • inhibiting interleukin 4 production by naive T cells
  • playing a role in cell to cell mediated immune response
  • clustering in an endothelial actin rich docking structure with VCAM1, MSN, VIL2
  • mediating leukocytes migration into sites of airway inflammation and activation of T cells
  • may be playing an important role for endothelial cell migration, through a pathway regulating endothelial nitric-oxide synthase activation and organization of the actin cytoskeleton
  • playing an essential role of with ITGB2 in mediating EPC (endothelial progenitor cells) recruitment, angiogenesis, and repair to the infarcted myocardium
  • implicated in neutrophil and monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, processes contributing to myocardial neutrophil infiltration and microvascular coronary slow flow
  • on osteoclast precursors manifested as clusters which localized at the baso-lateral membrane
  • dynamic molecule localized in the apical membrane of the endothelium and clusters upon binding to leukocytes
  • AGER and ICAM1 are a new set of functionally linked adhesion molecules, which closely cooperate in mediating leukocyte adhesion during the acute trauma-induced inflammatory response
  • functions in leukocyte trafficking, activation, and the formation of the immunological synapse
  • with VCAM1 were critical for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-mediated immunosuppression
  • inducible surface glycoprotein that mediates adhesion-dependent cell-to-cell interactions
  • expressed by cardiac fibroblasts with SELE and CXC chemokines in response to proinflammatory cytokine stimulation in the infarcted myocardium
  • AGER and ICAM1 differentially regulate leukocyte adhesion in a stimulus-dependent manner
  • role of endothelial cell adhesion molecules SELP, SELE and ICAM1 in leucocyte recruitment induced by exogenous methylglyoxal in diabetes
  • RAC1 is required for ICAM1 clustering, whereas RHOG controls membrane protrusion formation
  • functions to enhance the strength of antigenic stimulation, extend the duration of contact with antigen-presenting cells, and augment cytokine signals, which are all factors that influence peripheral CD8 T-cell differentiation
  • potential dual roles in both promoting the decay of effector responses and programming the sensitivity of memory CD8 T cells to secondary stimuli

    a component
  • dimer with ITGAL
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • ligand for ITGB2 (CD11A/CD18)
  • interacting with ezrin, EZR and ICAM2 in microvillar projections under phosphatidylinositol-4,5 biphosphate regulation
  • interactions both within the host and between the host and a number of pathogenes
  • interacting with AGER
  • interacting with IFI16 (mediates ICAM1 stimulation by TNF-alpha through the NF-kappaB pathway, thus reinforcing the role of the IFI16 molecule in the inflammation process)
  • interacting with FLNB (filamin B is required for the lateral mobility of ICAM1 and for ICAM1-induced transmigration of leukocytes)
  • SVEP1 and SRPX2 seemed to act as regulators of ICAM1 and E-selectin shedding and influence the expression of membrane bound adhesion molecules
  • associations at the PNPLA3, RELA, and SH2B3 loci
  • thrombin (thrombin binding region in the sixth EGF like repeat)THBD and ICAM1 were induced with MIF addition in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner
  • upon clustering of ICAM1, the Rho-guanine nucleotide exchange factor TRIO activates RAC1, prior to activating RHOG, in a filamin-dependent manner
  • ICAM1 and VCAM1, as reflecting endothelial dysfunction biomarkers, play key roles at the early stage of inflammatory response to facilitate leukocytes adhesion and transmigration in vascular endothelial cells
  • ITLN1 inhibition of TNF-induced expression of VCAM1 and ICAM1 is mediated by its down-regulation of ERK/NFKB signaling pathway
  • ITGAL/ICAM1-dependent interactions between T cells and Dendritic cells play a crucial role not only in supporting firm arrest during Ag recognition but also in facilitating the Ag scanning processes
  • HMGB1 promotes an inflammatory response by inducing the expression of ICAM1 and P-selectin via AGER-mediated stimulation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway
  • CLOCK is a positive regulator of ICAM1, and promotes the adhesion of mononuclear cells to endothelial cells
  • increased the cell migration and expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) in human osteosarcoma cells
  • APOM suppressed TNF-induced expression of ICAM1 and VCAM1 through inhibiting the activity of NFKB1
  • NSUN2 upregulates the expression of ICAM1 by methylating ICAM1 mRNA, and this regulatory process impacts on vascular inflammation and allograft arteriosclerosis
  • role of KDM7A in ICAM1 protein stabilization
  • endothelial cell PTPN11 negatively regulates neutrophil adhesion and promotes transmigration by enhancing ICAM1-CDH5 interaction
  • CNOT1 provides a platform for the recruitment of TTP and CNOT7, and is involved in TTP&
