E-selectin, also known as
CD62 antigen-like family member E (CD62E),
endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule 1 (ELAM-1), or
leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion molecule 2 (LECAM2), is a
cell adhesion molecule expressed only on
endothelial cells activated by
cytokines. Like other
selectins, it plays an important part in
inflammation. In humans, E-selectin is encoded by the
SELE gene.
