Over recent years cadherins have emerged as a growing superfamily of molecules, and a
complex picture of their structure and their biological functions is becoming apparent …

Classical cadherins form parallel cis-dimers that emanate from a single cell surface. It is
thought that the cis-dimeric form is active in cell–cell adhesion, whereas cadherin monomers …

A large number of cadherins and cadherin‐related proteins are expressed in different
tissues of a variety of multicellular organisms. These proteins share one property: their …

Cadherins are a rapidly growing family of calcium-dependent morphoregulatory proteins.
Members of three subsets of this family-classical cadherins, desmocollins, and desmogleins …

Cadherins are a superfamily of transmembrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent
intercellular adhesion. T-cadherin (T-cad, H-cadherin or cadherin-13) is an atypical member …

Cadherins have been known for a long time to be key elements in many important biological
processes. In particular, the role of classical cadherins in mediating adhesion has been …

(Kohmura et al., 1998; Tamura et al., 1998; Tang et al., level, and a strong correlation
between expression pro-1998), together with previous studies, provide a deeper files of …

Neural development and the organization of complex neuronal circuits involve a number of
processes that require cell–cell interaction. During these processes, axons choose specific …

The cadherins comprise a family of single-pass transmembrane proteins critical for cell–cell
adhesion in vertebrates and invertebrates. The recently determined structure of the whole …

Recent cadherin studies have revealed that many cadherins and cadherin-related proteins
are expressed in various tissues of different multicellular organisms. These proteins are …
