CD62E represents the 100-110 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein E-selectin, also known as
endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1). It is expressed on cytokine-stimulated
endothelium, weakly on unactivated endothelium, and is absent on leukocytes. Like other selectins,
CD62E is an adhesion molecule that contributes to the initial attachment and rolling of leukocytes on
endothelial surfaces, a prerequisite for leukocyte extravasation into tissues.
