Structural studies on human vascular adhesion protein-1

Vascular adhesion protein-1 mediates adhesion and transmigration of lymphocytes on human hepatic endothelial cells.

Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is an amine oxidase and adhesion receptor that is expressed by endothelium in the human liver. The hepatic sinusoids are perfused by blood at low flow rates, and sinusoidal endothelium lacks selectin expression and has low levels of CD31, suggesting that VAP-1 may play a specific role in lymphocyte recruitment to the liver. In support of this we now report th...

Vascular Adhesion Protein 1 in the Eye

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/vascular adhesion protein-1 (SSAO/VAP-1), a dual-function molecule with adhesive and enzymatic properties, is expressed on the surface of vascular endothelial cells of mammals. It also exists as a soluble form (sVAP-1), which is implicated in oxidative stress via its enzymatic activity and can be a prognostic biomarker. Recent evidence suggests that VAP-1 i...

Isolation, structural characterization, and chromosomal mapping of the mouse vascular adhesion protein-1 gene and promoter.

Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is an endothelial cell adhesion molecule which mediates lymphocyte binding to endothelial cells. The cloning of a mouse VAP-1 (mVAP-1) cDNA revealed that mVAP-1 is a novel 110/220 kDa transmembrane molecule with significant identity to copper-containing amine oxidases. In this work the nucleotide sequence and primary structure of the mVAP-1 gene was determine...
