A protein that in humans is encoded by the VCAM1 gene.
VCAM-1 is a cell surface glycoprotein primarily expressed by activated endothelial cells.
It mediates adhesion of leukocytes and plays a key role in inflammation and immune cell trafficking.
In the tumor microenvironment, VCAM-1 is often upregulated and is involved in the interactions between tumor cells, immune cells, and the vasculature.

VCAM-1 is predominantly protumorigenic in cancer contexts. Its upregulation in tumor tissues and vasculature contributes to enhanced tumor cell adhesion, migration, and metastasis, and correlates with poor clinical outcomes.
