IgSF CAM
Immunoglobulin superfamily CAMs (IgSF CAMs) are a class of cell adhesion molecules.[1]
They are either homophilic or heterophilic and bind integrins or different IgSF CAMs.
Examples
Here is a list of some molecules of this family:
- SynCAMs Synaptic Cell Adhesion Molecules
- NCAMs Neural Cell Adhesion Molecules
- ICAM-1 Intercellular Cell Adhesion Molecule
- VCAM-1 Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule
- PECAM-1 Platelet-endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule
- L1 family including L1 (protein), CHL1, Neurofascin and NrCAM
- SIGLEC family including Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG, SIGLEC-4), CD22 and CD83
- CTX family including CTX, Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM), BT-IgSF, Coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor (CAR), VSIG, ESAM
- Nectins and nectin-like molecules
- CD2
- CD48
- Receptor tyrosine phosphatase subfamilies, including PTPRM or PTPµ subfamily members, and PTPRF or LAR subfamily members.
