Substrate adhesion molecules
text:
Substrate adhesion molecules (SAMs) are proteins that attach cells to specific compounds in the extracellular matrix. Some of the amino acids in the SAM bind to components of the extracellular matrix, while others bind to integrins on the surface of the cell. Integrin molecules are composed of two chains of amino acids, one of which is connected to the actin filaments in the cytoskeleton, while the other is connected to the SAMs. This enables external activity in the extracellular matrix to affe
