OKCAM -- an ontology-based knowledgebase for cell adhesion molecules
What you can do:
Locate information on cell adhesion molecules (CAMs).
Highlights:
- We now report compilation of 496 human CAM genes in six gene families based on manual curation of protein domain structures, Gene Ontology annotations, and 1487 NCBI Entrez annotations.
- We map these genes onto a cell adhesion molecule ontology that contains 850 terms, up to seven levels of depth and provides a hierarchical description of these molecules and their functions.
- We identify global CAM properties that include: (i) functional enrichment, (ii) over-represented regulation modes and expression patterns and (iii) relationships to human Mendelian and complex diseases, and discuss the strengths and limitations of these data.
Keywords:
- CAM
- cell adhesion molecule
