Cadherin Peptide, avian-Cadher

Cadherin-Mediated Cell-Cell Interactions

Cadherins constitute a family of transmembrane glycoproteins (Table 1 ) that mediate cell-cell adhesion by their ability to self-associate (1 –4 ). For example, E-cadherin binds only to E-cadherin and not to N-cadherin. The homotypic
