Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule‑1 (PECAM-1)

Target
PECAM-1
Molecular classification
Transmembrane glycoprotein, Immunoglobulin superfamily
01

Overview

CD31/PECAM‑1 is a key adhesion molecule highly expressed on tumor-associated endothelial cells. It plays central roles in angiogenesis, regulation of vascular permeability/barrier function during vessel remodeling, and control over immune cell trafficking into tissues—including tumors. Its expression makes it both a valuable biomarker for assessing tumor vasculature status and an attractive therapeutic target for strategies aimed at disrupting pathological angiogenesis or improving drug delivery within solid malignancies.
