Process ensuring neighboring cells stick together, maintaining tissue and organ structure and function. Homophilic Interaction
Connection between cells using identical molecules on both cell surfaces, common in tissues. Heterophilic Interaction
Connection between cells using different molecules on each cell surface, allowing diverse cell contacts. Cell Adhesion Molecule
Protein embedded in the plasma membrane, essential for connecting adjacent cells in tissues. Cadherin
Glycoprotein in the plasma membrane, requiring calcium, crucial for binding cells together in tissues. Glycoprotein
Protein with attached sugar groups, often found in cell membranes, facilitating cell interactions. Plasma Membrane
Cell boundary where adhesion proteins reside, enabling direct contact with neighboring cells. Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
Developmental process where cells change type, essential for forming tissues like blood, muscle, or bone. Endothelial Cadherin
Classical cadherin type primarily interacting with cells lining blood vessels. Placental Cadherin
Classical cadherin type mainly associated with placental tissue interactions. Neural Cadherin
Classical cadherin type predominantly found in neural tissue, supporting nervous system structure. Lectin
Protein that binds specifically to sugars, mediating heterophilic cell adhesion. Selectin
Glycoprotein involved in white blood cell adhesion, crucial for inflammation and immune response. Endothelial Selectin
Selectin class found on blood vessel cells, facilitating leukocyte movement during inflammation. Platelet Selectin
Selectin class present on platelets, playing a role in blood clotting and immune cell recruitment. Leukocyte Selectin
Selectin class located on white blood cells, aiding their interaction with blood vessel walls.
