The phrase "adhesion function for" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to science, engineering, or technology, particularly when discussing the role or purpose of adhesion in a specific application or system.
Example: "The adhesion function for the new adhesive material was tested to ensure optimal performance in various conditions."
Alternatives: "adhesion role in" or "adhesion capability for".
The extracellular domain structure and absence of recognizable cytoplasmic signaling motifs in members of the highly conserved FIGLER gene family suggest a trophic or cell adhesion function for these molecules.
In the next sentence, the authors state that "LINKIN is present in Trichoplax, an animal of the most basal phylum Placozoa that is composed of two epithelioid cell layers, fitting with a cell-cell adhesion function for LINKIN".
We have demonstrated an adhesion function for the transmembrane glycoprotein LINKIN and have identified interactors RUVBL1, RUVBL2, and α-tubulin, which support a model for LINKIN regulating the microtubule cytoskeleton.
Unexpectedly, the adhesion function of β-catenin is dispensable for sensory neurogenesis and the formation of DRG, as revealed by the comparison of conditional βcat-Null, βcat-Sig, and αcat-Adh embryos.
This finding provided a strong evidence for the significance of integrins in the adhesion function of endometrial stromal cells.
Here we describe the development of new compounds that will serve as a strong foundation to support investigation of novel anti-fiber therapeutics targeting critical assembly and adhesion functions of fibers required for the determination of tropism and the organization of bacterial communities during infection.
Interestingly, these phenotypes were also completely rescued by Ctnnb1TV-AA since no difference was detectable in primary branch location, secondary branch number and length, and endplate band width between ACTA1- Ctnnb1−/−::LSL- Ctnnb1ΔTAD mice and control or ACTA1- Ctnnb1−/−::LSL- Ctnnb1 mice, indicating that the cell-adhesion function of Ctnnb1 is not necessary for presynaptic differentiation.
The identification of an intracellular domain that is essential for intercellular adhesive activity is not unprecedented, as an intracellular juxtamembrane domain in E-cadherin is essential for its intercellular adhesion function [21] [23].
For example, although EpCAM, similar to CD44, is known for its cell adhesion function (membranous localisation), it seems to have versatile roles in signalling, cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, depending on the microenvironment (cytoplasmic localisation) (Trzpis et al, 2007).
B49Mod1 completely retains the anti-adhesion function of B49 without affecting cell viability.
Ligand binding to the peripheral site can block access of substrates or allosterically alter the catalytic efficiency of AChE, but more importantly for our considerations, it interferes with its nonenzymatic adhesion functions that are required for axonogenesis and other developmental events (Bourne et al. 2003; Johnson and Moore 2003; Kousba et al. 2004; Sentjurc et al. 1999).
