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
• CHL1
• MAG
• Nectins and nectin-like molecules
• CD2
• CD48
• The SIGLEC family (e.g. CD22, CD83)
• The CTX family (e.g. CTX, JAMs, BT-IgSF, CAR, VSIG, ESAM)
