Characterization of cadherin-4 and cadherin-5 reveals new aspects of cadherins

Journal of Cell Science, 1994
ABSTRACT Several properties of cadherin-4 and cadherin-5 were char- acterized by using the cDNA transfection approach. The proteins of both cadherins had a relative molecular mass of about 130 kDa and were present at the cell periphery, especially at cell-cell contact sites.

The cadherin superfamily

Journal of Cell Science, 2001
The poster provides an overview of the cadherin superfamily, depicting representative molecules for several subfamilies, and displaying the plethora of molecular arrangements characteristic of these molecules (see Commentary by Angst, Marcozzi and Magee on p. 629).

Cadherins in Cancer

2004
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

Classical cadherins

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.

Various Atypical Cadherins: T-Cadherin, RET, Calsyntenin, and 7D-Cadherin

2016
In 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 ...

Cadherins in Development

2004
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, 1996
Cadherins 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, 2000
Different 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.

Homoassociation of VE-cadherin Follows a Mechanism Common to “Classical” Cadherins

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2003
Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin/cadherin5) is specifically expressed in adherens junctions of endothelial cells and exerts important functions in cell-cell adhesion as well as signal transduction. To analyze the mechanism of VE-cadherin homoassociation, the ectodomains CAD1-5 were connected by linker sequences to the N terminus of the coiled-

Cadherins and neuropsychiatric disorders

Brain Research, 2012
Cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion but are also involved in intracellular signaling pathways associated with neuropsychiatric disease. Most of the ∼100 cadherins that are expressed in the brain exhibit characteristic spatiotemporal expression profiles.
