New evidence from blocking desmosomal adhesion with anti-adhesion peptides reveals a role for desmosomes in cell positioning in morphogenesis. Desmosomal adhesion is necessary for the stability of adherens junctions in epithelial cell sheets. Knockout and mis-expression of desmosomal cadherins in mice suggests that they may function directly or ...

Seminars in Cell Biology, 1992
Cadherins represent a gene family of Ca(2+)-dependent cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) identified during development and in adult organs. They generally mediate cell-cell adhesion by homotypic interaction, although heterotypic binding between different cadherin molecules is possible.

The presence of a functional E-cadherin/catenin cell-cell adhesion complex is a prerequisite for normal development and maintenance of epithelial structures in the mammalian body. This implies that the acquisition of molecular abnormalities that disturb the expression or function of this complex is related to the development and progression of most, if

Various Atypical Cadherins: T-Cadherin, RET, Calsyntenin, and 7D-Cadherin
2016In addition to the various cadherins described in previous chapters, there are several atypical cadherins that have unique structures and functions. Because of their great diversity, some cadherins have unexpected roles beyond cell–cell adhesion. In this chapter, we review interesting features of T-cadherin, RET, calsyntenins, and 7D-cadherins that ...

The cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules has emerged as a key regulator of embryonic morphogenesis. Although we are beginning to learn more about the developmental functions of non-classic cadherins, most of our current knowledge of the involvement of cadherins in various cellular processes that guide morphogenesis, such as adhesion, migration ...

Cadherin-catenin complex: Protein interactions and their implications for cadherin function
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 1996Cadherins comprise a family of calcium-dependent glycoproteins that function in mediating cell-cell adhesion in virtually all solid tissues of multicellular organisms. In epithelial cells, E-cadherin represents a key molecule in the establishment and stabilization of cellular junctions.

Molecular analysis of E‐cadherin and cadherin‐11 in Wilms' tumours
The Journal of Pathology, 2000Different studies of Wilms' tumours have demonstrated a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 16q ranging from 17 to 25%. In order to search for a potential tumour suppressor gene on 16q, we chose the calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules E-cadherin and cadherin-11 as candidate genes, which are both located on the long arm of chromosome 16.

The Premetazoan Ancestry of Cadherins
Science, 2008Cadherin-mediated cell adhesion and signaling is essential for metazoan development and yet is absent from all other multicellular organisms. We found cadherin genes at numbers similar to those observed in complex metazoans in one of the closest single-celled relatives of metazoans, the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis

The cadherin superfamily database
Journal of Structural and Functional Genomics, 2002The cadherin superfamily is a large protein family with diverse structures and functions. Because of this diversity and the growing biological interest in cell adhesion and signaling processes, in which many members of the cadherin superfamily play a crucial role, it is becoming increasingly important to develop tools to manage, distribute and analyze ...
