The phrase "adhesive function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to materials science, biology, or any field discussing the properties of substances that stick or bond to surfaces.
Example: "The adhesive function of the new polymer makes it ideal for use in medical applications where strong bonding is required."
Alternatives: "bonding capability" or "sticking property".
We performed cell-cell aggregation assays which revealed a developmentally regulated functional increase in ENS cell adhesive function, requiring both Ca 2+ -dependent and independent adhesion.
It achieves adhesive function through integrin-mediated adhesion.
To test whether deletion of ILK selectively affected the adhesive function mediated by particular integrins, we assayed adhesion of NKO mutant and control NCCs to different integrin ligands.
Mutation at both phosphorylation sites, serines-305/307/309 and serines-426/430, abolished the effect of ePK-mediated CD98 phosphorylation on cell adhesion, further demonstrating the contribution of phosphorylation to the adhesive function of this molecule.
Recent studies show that uPAR itself is a high-affinity adhesion receptor for vitronectin and that urokinase (uPA) is an activator of this adhesive function.
FNIII domains are often found in molecules with adhesive function and can act as a spacer to ensure the correct positioning of functional sites [ 13].

Chemical composition of pad fluid, which is an important component of an adhesive function, is reviewed.
This may occur via the adhesive function of P-selectin and its potential capacity to trigger intracellular signaling.
