'''Selectin''' or '''CD62''' are cell adhesion molecules which bind sugar moieties and thus are regarded as lectins. The structure of selectin consists of extracellular calcium-dependent lectin domain, an EGF-like domain and a number of concensus repeat units, a transmembranal domain and a intracellular domain<ref>PMID:7542213</ref>. Three types of selectins are found:<br /> | '''Selectin''' or '''CD62''' are cell adhesion molecules which bind sugar moieties and thus are regarded as lectins.
