TGF-β signaling links E-cadherin loss to suppression of nucleotide excision repair. [PDF]
, 2016 E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule best known for its function in suppressing tumor progression and metastasis. Here we show that E-cadherin promotes nucleotide excision repair through positively regulating the expression of xeroderma pigmentosum ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of B-cadherin, a novel chick cadherin. [PDF]
, 1991 Calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion is mediated in large part by a set of homologous integral membrane glycoproteins termed cadherins. In this report, antibodies to conserved domains in previously described cadherins have been used to isolate cDNAs ...

Quantification of the stiffness and strength of cadherin ectodomain binding with different ions
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2014 The stiffness and strength of extracellular (EC) region of cadherin are proposed to be two important mechanical properties both for cadherin as a mechanotransductor and for the formation of cell-cell adhesion.

Toxins, 2020 It is well known that insect larval midgut cadherin protein serves as a receptor of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal Cry1Ac or Cry1Ab toxins, since structural mutations and downregulation of cad gene expression are linked with resistance to Cry1Ac ...

N-cadherin acts in concert with Slit1-Robo2 signaling in regulating aggregation of placode-derived cranial sensory neurons [PDF]
, 2009 Vertebrate cranial sensory ganglia have a dual origin from the neural crest and ectodermal placodes. In the largest of these, the trigeminal ganglion, Slit1-Robo2 signaling is essential for proper ganglion assembly.

A role for the cleaved cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin in the nucleus [PDF]
, 2008 Cell-cell contacts play a vital role in intracellular signaling, although the molecular mechanisms of these signaling pathways are not fully understood. E-cadherin, an important mediator of cell-cell adhesions, has been shown to be cleaved by γ-secretase.

Identification of a novel human E-Cadherin splice variant andassessment of its effects upon EMT-related events [PDF]
, 2018 Epithelial Cadherin (E-cadherin) is involved in calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and signal transduction. The E-cadherin decrease/loss is a hallmark of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a key event in tumor progression.

The FAT1 Cadherin Drives Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration
Cells, 2023 Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are normally quiescent and non-migratory, regulating the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels to control the vascular tone.
