| Cadherins are members of a multigene family of single chain glycoprotein receptors mediating Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion(1,2,3). The N-terminal part of these molecules is exposed on the external cell surface and contains the putative homophilic binding sites. This is followed by a typical single transmembrane sequence and usually a cytoplasmic C-terminal tail which mediates interaction with the microfilament system |

| through molecules such as catenins, plakoglobin, vinculin, and alpha-actinin. |
