2018年5月20日 · Both integrins and cadherins are transmembrane proteins, that also need adaptor proteins on the intracellular side. For clarification: Adherens junctions transfer the force of aktin filaments from one cell to another, using classical cadherins between the cells. Desmosomes connect intermediate filaments between neighbouring cells.

2013年9月13日 · Amongst the suggestions on this page included using different concentrations of Mn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ in your (custom?) media since cell adhesion is regulated by integrins, cadherins, and selections and in general, Mn2+ increases ligand affinity, Mg2+ promotes adhesion to cells, and Ca2+ decreases cell adhesion as referened here.

2014年10月17日 · PBS/EDTA: Integrins and Cadherins play an important role in the adhesion and also in maintaining cell-cell contacts. These function of these proteins depends on Calcium 2+ ions, so EDTA will chelate them and make them unavailable. First remove the culture media, rinse the cells with warm PBS to get rid of most ions and then incubate them for 5 ...
