11. The CCN family of proteins regulates diverse cellular functions, including cell adhesion, differentiation. 12. Cell adhesion is also essential for the pathogenesis of infectious organisms. 13. FLRT family members may function in cell adhesion and / or receptor signalling. 14. These neural cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins are integral plasma membrane proteins. 15. Surface modification can also affect properties that promote cell adhesion. 16. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. 17. IGFBP7 is also involved in the stimulation of cell adhesion. 18. Latrophilins may function in both cell adhesion and signal transduction. 19. The protein encoded by this gene may be involved in cell adhesion during neurodegeneration. 20. Those cancer cells can form cell- cell adhesions again and return to an epithelial state.
