ICAM proteins are ligands for the leukocyte adhesion protein LFA-1 (integrin alpha-L/beta-2). During leukocyte trans-endothelial migration, ICAM1 engagement promotes the assembly of endothelial apical cups through SGEF and RHOG activation. In case of rhinovirus infection acts as a cellular receptor for the virus.1) Greenwood J, et al. (2003) J Immunol; 171 (4): 2099-2108. Zhou Z, et al. (2005) Eur J Pharmacol; 513 (1-2): 1-8.
