Rat Anti-Mouse MAdCAM-1 (Clone MECA-367) recognizes an epitope on Mouse MAdCAM-1. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.

Mucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MAdCAM-1) is a multifunctional type l transmembrane adhesion molecule that is expressed selectively at venular sites of lymphocyte extravasation into mucosal lymphoid tissues and lamina propria, where it directs local lymphocyte trafficking.¹ MAdCAM-1 is involved in the normal recirculation of lymphocytes between the blood and the gastrointestinal tract.² MAdCAM-1 may be a relevant tissue-specific therapeutic target for the modulation of inflammatory bowel disease activity.³
