(20) P-selectin (CD62) is a rapidly inducible cell surface adhesion molecule that is expressed on platelets and endothelial cells and mediates their interaction with leukocytes.
Viscidity
Definition:
(n.) The quality or state of being viscid; also, that which is viscid; glutinous concretion; stickiness.
