Cell adhesion molecule

      Cell adhesion molecules are a class of widely distributed on the cell surface or extracellular matrix, mediates cell-cell or cell and matrix Q mutual contact and a combination of a class of molecules, play a role by a receptor ligand corresponding forms, resultingcell-cell and cell matrix or cell-matrix adhesion of cells involved in cell signaling and activation, stretch and move cells, cell growth and differentiation, tumor metastasis, wound healing, and a series of important physiologicaland pathological processes. Hematopoietic cell antigen (human hematopoietic cell antigen, huHCA) and its congeners new discoveries in recent years, a class of cell adhesion molecules, and is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, selectively distributed in early hematopoietic cells, the embryonic development of the central nervous system as well as the development of a variety of organizations, the normal growth and development of the nervous system, the hematopoietic cell proliferation, differentiation play an important role.
