Cell adhesion molecules and cancer

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1992
Cell adhesion molecules are complex protein and carbohydrate molecules of many different types found on the surfaces of all cells. They are important in many aspects of cell biology including development, differentiation, and motility. These processes are frequently disturbed in cancer and recent work has demonstrated that disturbances in cell adhesion

Glycosyltransferases as cell adhesion molecules

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1993
Specific glycosyltransferases are believed to be present on the cell surface, where they may function as cell adhesion molecules by binding oligosaccharide substrates on adjacent cell surfaces or in the extracellular matrix. The best studied of these is beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase, which mediates sperm binding to the egg coat and selected cell ...

Cell Adhesion Molecules and Endometriosis

Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2003
The pathogenesis of endometriosis remains poorly defined. The interaction of endometrium with peritoneum is an important aspect of the disease process. Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are transmembrane receptors that facilitate intercellular binding and cellular interaction with the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Inhibition of cell adhesion by anti-adhesive molecules

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995
The importance of inhibitory (as well as stimulatory) signals for cell adhesion and/or migration is most readily recognizable during development of the nervous system, where pathfinding and the avoidance of inappropriate tracks by axons in the periphery, and the development of organized layers and establishment of boundaries in the central nervous ...

The structure of cell-adhesion molecules.

Trends in cell biology, 1998
In recent years, following the identification and molecular cloning of many key adhesion molecules, the three-dimensional structures of some of the domains that mediate adhesive interactions have been determined. This review discusses how these studies have helped explain the unique functional roles of the different families of adhesion molecules.

Cell Adhesion Molecules

2019
To orchestrate development and maintain tissue homeostasis, multicellular organisms have evolved a large number of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). There are four major classes of CAMs: the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), the cadherins, the integrins and the selectins.

Cell Adhesion Molecules

2008
Cell adhesion molecules, also termed cell adhesion receptors, are one of three classes of macromolecules – along with extracellular matrix molecules and adhesion plaque proteins – that mediate cell adhesion, an activity which is critical for the commencement and maintenance of the three-dimensional structure and normal function of tissues.1,2 Cell ...
