Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (gene VCAM1) in human samples and is validated for Western blot and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 81.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 100 kDa.
VCAM-1 (CD106) is an immunoglobulin-superfamily adhesion molecule expressed on activated endothelial cells. Induced by inflammatory cytokines, it binds the integrin VLA-4 (α4β1) on leukocytes and supports their firm adhesion and migration into tissues. VCAM-1 is a common marker of endothelial activation in inflammation and atherosclerosis research.

Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human VCAM1 fragment (Phe25–Val739), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed on inflamed vascular endothelium, as well as on macrophage-like and dendritic cell types in both normal and inflamed tissue. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
