(Redirected from Adhesion molecules). Cell adhesion molecules (CAM s) are proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings.
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). Structures (receptor integrins, immunoglobulin adhesion molecules, Ca + -dependent cadherins and carbohydrate-binding selectins) within the cell membrane that bond to laminins within the extracellular matrix to attach adjacent cells to one another and to the basal membrane.
