selectinbinding
Selectin binding refers to the interaction between selectins, a family of cell adhesion molecules, and their carbohydrate ligands. Selectins are calcium-dependent proteins that initiate the initial contact between circulating leukocytes and the vascular endothelium or platelets, a step essential for leukocyte trafficking during immune surveillance and inflammation. The three vertebrate selectins are L-selectin, found on leukocytes; E-selectin, induced on activated endothelial cells; and P-selectin, stored in platelets and endothelial We should avoid this; will fix.

Ligands for selectins include various glycoproteins bearing specific carbohydrate motifs, notably sialylated and fucosylated structures such
In physiological flow, selectin–ligand interactions support capture and rolling of leukocytes along the vessel wall. These
