CAMs Signaling Pathway Assay (CAT#: STEM-MB-0361-WXH)

Introduction

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are a group of membrane glycoprotein and carbohydrate molecules that mediate the adhesion of cells to cells or of cells to the extracellular matrix.
Cell adhesion molecules are (glyco)proteins expressed on the cell surface and play a critical role in a wide array of biologic processes that include hemostasis, the immune response, inflammation, embryogenesis, and development of neuronal tissue. There are four main groups: the integrin family, the immunoglobulin superfamily, selectins, and cadherins.
