Synaptic Cell Adhesion Molecules

2012
During development of the nervous system following axon pathfinding, synaptic connections are established between neurons. Specific cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) accumulate at pre- and postsynaptic sites and trigger synaptic differentiation through interactions with intra- and extracellular scaffolds. These interactions are important to align pre- and

Adhesion molecules in cell interactions

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1993
During a successful immune response, several families of adhesion molecules participate in a cascade of binding events that lead to the binding of leukocytes, both to each other and to cell types such as the endothelium and epithelium. A central theme emerging from recent studies is that the function of an adhesion receptor cannot be inferred from its ...

Epithelial cell adhesion molecules

Experimental Cell Research, 1986
Recognition and binding between cells are of fundamental importance for a proper function of multicellular organisms, both during embryonic development and in the adult stage. Recently several cell surface proteins that are involved in these phenomena have been discovered.

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).

Cell adhesion molecules as morphoregulators

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995
Many significant advances have been made recently in our understanding of the structure and function of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). The most provocative, however, are those that indicate that CAM-mediated adhesion may lead to changes in gene expression and those that suggest that the expression of CAM genes may be regulated by the products of Hox ...

3 Drosophila Cell Adhesion Molecules

1993
Publisher Summary This chapter describes Drosophila cell adhesion molecules. The primary reason for the interest in Drosophila cell adhesion proteins is the ability to undertake sophisticated genetic analyses of function in situ. Analysis in situ is especially important when examining the function during development, where cell culture systems are of

Lectins as cell adhesion molecules

Current Biology, 1992
Abstract Within the past year, there have been major adbances in understanding the structure and function of the selectins, a family of calcium-dependent carbohydrate-binding transmembrane glycoproteins of intermediate molecular size (90–140 kD), and more modest but significant progress has been made for the S-lectins, a family of calcium-independent

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.
