Abstract

The short characteristic of cell adhesion molecules and the main components of cytoskeleton are submitted at the present review. Structural and functional peculiarities of these proteins are presented. On the basis of different sources an attempt to clarify the possible mechanism of the interaction of adhesion proteins cytoskeleton structure has been done. It is suggested that information about adhesion contacts is transmitted from the adhesion proteins to cytoskeleton structures that induces the transformation of the letter ones and promotes the cellular metabolic response.
