Among the hallmarks of cancer are defective cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion. Alterations in cadherin-catenin complexes likely have a major contributing role in cell-adhesion defects in carcinomas arising in many different tissues. E-cadherin, the prototypic member of the cadherin transmembrane protein family, regulates cell adhesion by interacting with E-cadherin molecules on opposing cell surfaces....
