Background: MXRA8/DICAM

DICAM, also known as Limitrin and MXRA8, is an approximately 70 kDa transmembrane adhesion protein that is expressed on the endothelium of many tissues (1). In the vascular system, it is found on pericytes, vascular endothelial cells (EC), and the vessel-contacting feet of astrocytes (2). It is up-regulated on EC by VEGF and functions as a negative regulator of angiogenesis (3). It inhibits VEGF-induced signaling, cell migration, capillary tube formation, and in vivo angiogenesis, and promotes EC apoptosis (3). The interaction of DICAM with Integrin  alpha V beta 3 enhances cell adhesion and inhibits the differentiation of osteoclasts (1, 4). Mature human DICAM consists of a 322 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with two Ig-like domains, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and an 80 aa cytoplasmic domain (2). Within the ECD, human DICAM shares 79% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat DICAM. Alternative splicing generates additional isoforms that lack most of the first Ig-like domain or have a substituted signal peptide.
