About this document
Integral Cell Adhesion Molecules Overview by Freah Genice Tolosa is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Integral cell adhesion molecules (ICAMs), including cadherins, play an essential role in cell recognition and aggregation during embryonic development and postnatal life. Cadherins are prerequisite for the development of other cohesion mechanisms and are important for morphogenesis and differentiation. For example, E-cadherin is important for epithelial cell adhesion through desmosomes, while N-cadherin is involved in adhesion of nerve, muscle and eye lens cells, and P-cadherin functions in placenta and epi
