Abstract excerpt
The different proteins of the E-cadherin/catenin cell-cell adhesion complex are believed to play a predominant role in carcinogenesis. Aberrant expression of these proteins has been found in many different human carcinomas, indicating abnormal regulation. In general, inactivating mutations of the human E-cadherin gene are rare; they are, however, highly frequent in infiltrating lobular breast carcinomas and in...
