Phylogenetic analysis of the cadherin superfamily.

Abstract excerpt

Cadherins are a multigene family of proteins which mediate homophilic calcium-dependent cell adhesion and are thought to play an important role in morphogenesis by mediating specific intercellular adhesion. Different lines of experimental evidence have recently indicated that the site responsible for mediating adhesive interactions is localized to the first extracellular domain of cadherin. Based upon an analysis...
