Background	HepaCAM2 belongs to the immunoglobulin family. HepaCAM2, together with HEPACAM1, are cell adhesion molecules. HEPACAM1 modulates cell adhesion and migration. It also inhibits cancer cell growth. HepaCAM2 contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. The immunoglobulin domain is a type of protein domain that consists of a 2-layer sandwich of between 7 and 9 antiparallel β-strands arranged in two β-sheets with a Greek key topology. Members of the immunoglobulin superfamily are found in hundreds of proteins of different functions.
