Selectin
The
selectins
(
cluster of differentiation
62
or
CD62
) are a family of
cell
adhesion
molecules
(or
CAM
s). All selectins are single-chain transmembrane
glycoproteins
that share similar properties to
C-type lectins
due to a related
amino terminus
and calcium-dependent binding. Selectins bind to sugar
moieties
and so are considered to be a type of
lectin
, cell adhesion proteins that bind sugar
polymers
.
