Differential Displacement of Classical Cadherins by VE-Cadherin [PDF]
Cell Communication & Adhesion, 2002 VE-cadherin is an endothelial cell-specific, type II classical cadherin that plays an important role in permeability, vasculogenesis, and vascular remodeling. Endothelial cells express equal levels of VE- and N-cadherin; VE-cadherin is present injunctions while N-cadherin is diffusely expressed over the surface of the cell.

Design of a Photoswitchable Cadherin [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2013 There is a growing interest in engineering proteins whose function can be controlled with the spatial and temporal precision of light. Here, we present a novel example of a functional light-triggered switch in the Ca-dependent cell-cell adhesion protein E-cadherin, created using a mechanism-based design strategy. We report an 18-fold change in apparent

Expression of classic cadherins and δ-protocadherins in the developing ferret retina
BMC Neuroscience, 2009 Background Cadherins are a superfamily of calcium-dependent adhesion molecules that play multiple roles in morphogenesis, including proliferation, migration, differentiation and cell-cell recognition.

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 ...

Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]
, 2012 The functions of many organs depend on the generation of an epithelium. The transition from a set of loosely connected nonpolarized cells to organized sheets of closely associated polarized epithelial cells requires the assembly of specialized cell ...

Restricted expression of classic cadherins in the spinal cord of the chicken embryo
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 Classic cadherins belong to the family of cadherin genes and play important roles in neurogenesis, neuron migration and axon growth. In the present study, we compared the expression patterns of 10 classic cadherins (Cdh2, Cdh4, Cdh6, Cdh7, Cdh8, Cdh9 ...

Functions of p120ctn in development and disease [PDF]
, 2012 p120 catenin (p120ctn), a component of the cadherin-catenin complex, was the first member to be identified in a most interesting subfamily of the Armadillo family. Several p120ctn isoforms are generated by alternative splicing.

Evolutionary origin of type IV classical cadherins in arthropods
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Classical cadherins are a metazoan-specific family of homophilic cell-cell adhesion molecules that regulate morphogenesis. Type I and type IV cadherins in this family function at adherens junctions in the major epithelial tissues of ...

Adhesion molecules in Wilms tumor (part I) [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2003 Adhesion molekues are glicoprotees which have extracellular, transmembranous and intracytoplasmatic part. They show their basic role is in cell interaction in the tissue on one side and between cells and matrix on the other side.
