Preferred Label : cadherins;
MeSH definition : 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.;
