This page lists the scientific contributions of an author, who either does not have a ResearchGate profile, or has not yet added these contributions to their profile.
It was automatically created by ResearchGate to create a record of this author's body of work. We create such pages to advance our goal of creating and maintaining the most comprehensive scientific repository possible. In doing so, we process publicly available (personal) data relating to the author as a member of the scientific community.
If you're a ResearchGate member, you can follow this page to keep up with this author's work.
If you are this author, and you don't want us to display this page anymore, please let us know.

ADAM 23 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain)/MDC3 (metalloprotease, disintegrin, and cysteine-rich domain) is a member of the disintegrin family of proteins expressed in fetal and adult brain. In this work we show that the disintegrin-like domain of ADAM 23 produced in Escherichia coli and immobilized on culture dishes promotes attachment o...

... Many of them involve formation or disruption of tight connections between somatic cells, gametes, embryos, and reproductive organs, and thus it strongly depends on adhesion abilities. The process of biological adhesion is indispensable for intercellular communication, signal transduction, proliferation, or apoptosis [4]. Cellular connections include: cytoskeleton-involving adherens junctions (AJs), formed by integrins, cadherins, and desmosomes [5]; selective tight junctions, controlling the molecular, and ionic flow, made up of claudins and occludins [6]; and lastly, gap junctions, based on connexins, allowing small substance flow between adjacent cells [7]. ...
... In addition, studies have confirmed the adhesive and binding propensity/preference of the D domain to integrins on certain membranes and cell surfaces. This is also the case with synthetic peptides carrying the ECD sequence (Kamiguti et al., 1997;Cal et al., 2000;Mariano-Oliveira et al., 2003). It has therefore been postulated that the D domain could possibly bind to a surface receptor (e.g., an integrin), thereby positioning the C domain for target recognition and both domains synergistically positioning the M domain to its protein substrate. ...
