Did you mean cell adhesion proteins?

GlossaryCell Adhesion Molecules (cell adhesion proteins)

proteins that help cells stick to each other

Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) are proteins located on the cell surface that help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. They play a crucial role in maintaining the structure of tissues and organs, facilitating communication between cells, and are involved in processes like wound healing and immune responses.
