Protein name Cell surface glycoprotein MUC18 (Cell surface glycoprotein P1H12) (Melanoma cell adhesion molecule) (Melanoma-associated antigen A32) (Melanoma-associated antigen MUC18) (S-endo 1 endothelial-associated antigen) (CD antigen CD146)
Protein function Plays a role in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. Its expression may allow melanoma cells to interact with cellular elements of the vascular system, thereby enhancing hemat
