General description
E (epithelial)-cadherin is a type I classical cadherin, which exists as a dimer. It has an ectodomain made of five extracellular cadherin-like (EC) domains, connected by conserved linker regions, which are calcium-binding in nature. It spans the membrane once, and contains a cytoplasmic region. It is a glycoprotein, and in humans has a molecular weight of 120kDa. It binds to catenin and cytoskeletal protein with its C-terminal domain.
Extracellular domain of mouse E-Cadherin (amino acids 1-709) fused to the carboxy-terminal 6X histidine tagged Fc region of human IgG1.
Application
E-Cadherin/Fc Chimera from mouse has been used in adhesion assays.
Biochem/physiol Actions
E (epithelial)-cadherin is involved in hemophilic cell-cell adhesion in a calcium-dependent manner. It forms adheren junctions through its ectodomains, to maintain physical contacts between adjacent cells. It plays essential roles in developmental processes, tissue homeostasis and multiple diseases. In humans, this protein might be involved in the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis. In Crohn′s diseased patients, mutations in this gene lead to a truncated or mislocalized protein product. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) are the underlying processes of tumorigenesis and embryogenesis, and these involve the control of E-cadherin expression.

Epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), a member of the classical cadherin family, mediates calcium-dependent homophilic cell-cell adhesion. Crystal structures of classical cadherins reveal an adhesive dimer interface featuring reciprocal exchange of N-terminal β-strands between two protomers. Previous work has identified a putative

Catenins of the p120 subclass display an array of intracellular localizations and functions. Although the genetic knockout of mouse delta-catenin results in mild cognitive dysfunction, we found severe effects of its depletion in Xenopus. delta-catenin in Xenopus is transcribed as

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) highlight crucial steps during embryogenesis and tumorigenesis. Induction of dramatic changes in gene expression and cell features is reflected by modulation of Cdh1 (E-cadherin) expression. We show that Cdh1 activity during MET is
