Combinatorial homophilic interaction between gamma-protocadherin multimers greatly expands the molecular diversity of cell adhesion.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 17 Aug 2010

Schreiner Dietmar, Weiner Joshua A

Abstract excerpt

The specificity of interactions between neurons is believed to be mediated by diverse cell adhesion molecules, including members of the cadherin superfamily. Whereas mechanisms of classical cadherin adhesion have been studied extensively, much less is known about the related protocadherins (Pcdhs), which together make up the majority of the superfamily. Here we use quantitative cell aggregation assays and...
