VCAM-1 (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein, which is expressed in a variety of cells including fibroblasts, macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and neurons. In endothelial cells, VCAM-1 is only expressed after cytokine stimulation. The primary roles of VCAM-1 include mediation of leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction. VCAM-1 has been implicated in atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
