The selectins (cluster of differentiation 62 or CD62) are a family of cell adhesion molecules (or CAMs). 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 lec...

Group of cell adhesion molecules that bid to carbohydrates via a lectin-like domain. The name is derived from select and lectin. They are integral membrane glycoproteins with an N-terminal, C-type lectin domain, followed by an EGF-like domain, a variable number of repeats of the short consensus sequence of complement regulatory proteins and a single transmembrane domain. Three selectins have been identified and are distinguished by capital letters based on the source of the original identification, ie. E-, L- and P-selectin. Examples: ELAM-1, GMP-140, LECAM. See Table S1.
