Youn-Kwan Jung. DICAM, a novel dual immunoglobulin domain containing cell adhesion molecule interacts with alphavbeta3 integrin. J Cell Physiol. 2008 Sep;216(3):603-14.
DICAM (Dual Ig domain containing cell adhesion molecule) is a novel adhesion molecule that belongs to the CTX protein family. DICAM is a type I transmembrane protein with two V-type Ig domains in the extracellular region and a short cytoplasmic tail of 442 amino acids. DICAM is found to be expressed ubiquitously in various organs and cell lines. Subcellular localization of DICAM was observed in the cell-cell contact region and nucleus of cultured epithelial cells. Cell-cell contact region was colocalized with tight junction protein, ZO-1. The DICAM increased MDCK cell adhesion to 60% levels of fibronectin. DICAM mediated cell adhesion was specific for the alphavbeta3 integrin; other integrins, alpha2, alpha5, beta1, alpha2beta1, alpha5beta1, were not involved in cell adhesion. Collectively, these results indicate that DICAM, a novel dual Ig domain containing adhesion molecule, mediates cell adhesion via alphavbeta3 integrin.
