Abstract excerpt
E-Cadherin regulates epithelial cell adhesion and is critical for the maintenance of tissue integrity. In sporadic diffuse-type gastric carcinoma, mutations of the E-cadherin gene are frequently observed that predominantly affect putative calcium binding motifs located in the linker region between the second and third extracellular domains. A single amino acid change (D370A) as found in a gastric carcinoma...
