CADHERIN-GROUP ADHESION
MOLECULES
Cadherins are involved in calcium- dependent cell-cell adhesion.
The molecule of a Cadherin binds to the molecule of similar Cadherins on
the neighboring cell.
Cadherins
1. Epithelial cadherines
(E-cadherines or uvomorulin, LCAM)
2. Neural cadherines (N-cadherines or A-CAM) 3. Placental cadherines (P cadherines)
4. Vascular cadherines (V- cadherines)
