Recently it has been shown that cdh23 and pchh15 are the adhesion molecules associated with these tip links.
There are the human genetic diseases caused by inability to express a specific adhesion molecule.
Viruses also have adhesion molecules required for viral binding to host cells.
One of the ways this can occur is when cells share the same cell-to-cell adhesion molecules.
This is probably carried out through the help of Ca-dependent adhesion molecules such as cadherins.
A wide diversity of adhesion molecules was also identified (Figure 7h).
In some cases, two or more such adhesion molecules appear to work together.
It is an adhesion molecule in the integrin family.
A number of rare diseases result from defects in adhesion molecules.
He is known for his identification of the cadherin class of adhesion molecules.
