Abstract excerpt
Cadherins are cell adhesion proteins that are important for tissue formation and integrity. Cell-cell adhesion occurs through the formation of the strand-crossover dimer between identical cadherins on the surface of neighboring cells. The strand-crossover dimer forms exclusively between their EC1...
