L-Selectin (Mel-14) Antibody: sc-18850

L-Selectin Background Information
Selectins, also designated CD62 antigens, comprise a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins involved in mediating cellular interactions with leukocytes. L-Selectin (also designated LECAM-1 or CD62L) is expressed on the majority of B and naive T cells and on most monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils. L-Selectin interacts with specific carbohydrates expressed by activated endothelial cells. P-Selectin (also designated GMP-140 or CD62P), expressed on activated platelets and endothelial cells, and E-Selectin (also designated ELMA-1 or CD62E), expressed on endothelial cells, exhibit overlapping ligand specificities. Both recognize sialyl-Lex as a ligand and bind to specific carbohydrates on neutrophils and monocytes.
