Intercellular adhesion molecule
Encyclopedia
Intercellular adhesion molecules are members of the family of cell adhesion molecule
s. They include the following:
Plasmodium falciparum increases ICAM receptors on red blood cells resulting in the sequestering of parasitized red blood cells.
Cell adhesion molecule
Cell Adhesion Molecules are proteins located on the cell surface involved with the binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion....
s. They include the following:
- ICAM-1ICAM-1ICAM-1 also known as CD54 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ICAM1 gene. This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein which is typically expressed on endothelial cells and cells of the immune system...
(see also CD54) - ICAM2ICAM2Intercellular adhesion molecule 2 , also known as CD102 , is a human gene.-Interactions:ICAM2 has been shown to interact with EZR.-Further reading:...
- ICAM3ICAM3Intercellular adhesion molecule 3 also known as CD50 , is a human gene.-Interactions:ICAM3 has been shown to interact with EZR and Moesin.-Further reading:...
- ICAM4ICAM4The LW blood system was first described by Landsteiner and Weiner in 1940. It was often confused with the Rh system, not becoming a separate antigen system until 1982. The LW and RhD antigens are genetically independent though they are phenotypically related and the LW antigen is expressed more...
