This increase in cell motility is accompanied by changes in the expression of adhesion receptors, especially those of the integrin and cadherin families.[1] Cell motility is the result of a coordinated balance between the adhesion and detachment of cells through CAMs, and this property changes simultaneously with tumor cell-induced remodeling of a cell's extracellular matrix.[2] CAMs are divided into four groups: integrins, cadherins, immunoglobulins and selectins. Here, CDH17 is linked to neoplasm.
