*'''ICAM-1''' is Ig-like cell adhesion molecule which has a role in inflammatory processes and in T-cell mediated host defines system.
*'''ICAM-2''' mediates adhesive interactions important for antigen-specific immune response.
*'''ICAM-3''' acts as recognition receptor in the phagocytosis of macrophages in engulfment of apoptotic neutrophils<ref>PMID:23775590</ref>.
*'''ICAM-5''' has 2 types of binding activities: binding between neutrons and binding between neuron and leukocytes.
