Definition
English
:
Calcium-dependent
cell adhesion
proteins
. They are important in the formation of
ADHERENS JUNCTIONS
between
cells
.
Cadherins
are classified by their distinct immunological and tissue specificities, either by letters (E- for epithelial, N- for neural, and P- for placental
cadherins
) or by numbers (cadherin-12 or N-cadherin 2 for brain-cadherin).
Cadherins
promote
cell adhesion
via a homophilic mechanism as in the
construction
of
tissues
and of the whole animal body.
