description: The GEArray Q Series Human Extracellular Matrix & Adhesion Molecules Gene Array contains 96 genes encoding proteins important for the attachment of cells to their surroundings. As seen in the list below, the array includes various types of cell adhesion molecules (such as the intregrins, IgG superfamily members, cadherins and catenins, and selectins) as well as extracellular matrix proteins, proteases (such as the matrix metalloproteinases and the serine and cysteine proteinases) and their inhibitors. These proteins play key roles in mediating cell-cell, cell-tissue and cell-extracellular matrix interactions and are involved in the normal processes of cell growth, division, differentiation, migration, as well as apoptosis. These genes are also important in many diseases and pathophysiological processes, including tumor invasion and metastasis, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disorders, wound healing, inflammation, and some central nervous diseases. Through a simple side-by-side hybridization using your experimental RNA samples and the arrays and reagents provided in the kit, you can simultaneously determine the expression profile of these matrix and adhesion molecules in your model system.
