| - | '''Flocculation protein''' or''' flocculin''' (FLO) are yeast adhesion protein family involved in cell-cell adhesion via lectin-carbohydrate interaction<ref>PMID:20640875</ref>. FLO1, FLO5, FLO9 and FLO10 have similar sequence and cause formation of cellular clumps (flocs) while FLO11 has unrelated sequence and is required for diploid formation and haploid invasive growth. Flocculins confer calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion, formation of cellular flocs and protection against environmental stress. | + | '''Flocculation protein''' or''' flocculin''' (FLO) are yeast adhesion protein family involved in cell-cell adhesion via lectin-carbohydrate interaction<ref>PMID:20640875</ref>.
