Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (PECAM1), also known as known as CD31 (cluster of differentiation 31), is an Ig supergene family cell adhesion and signaling membrane receptor. CD31/PECAM1 is critical for cell-cell interactions and is expressed on a variety of hematopoetic cells (platelets, granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and T and B cell subsets).
