A number of cell-surface proteins (the CAMs), mediate such homophilic (like-binds-like) adhesion between cells of a single type and heterophilic adhesion between cells of different types.

Cell surface proteins that promote cell-cell contact are called cell adhesion molecules or CAMs. They help in stopping growth due to contact inhibition.
- CAMs are present in the membrane of the cell and facilitate homophobic as well as heterophilic binding of cells.
- The major function of CAMs is to help the binding of cells and promote cell adhesion.
- If antibodies against these CAMs are introduced in the body, they can stop cell proliferation and initiate contact inhibition.
