Examples of cadherin in the following topics:
-
- They link the actin microfilaments to the
cadherins.
- Cadherins, namely E-cadherin.
- The extracellular part of one cell’s cadherin binds to the extracellular
part of the adjacent cell’s cadherin in the space between the two cells.
- Each
cell’s cadherin molecule also contains a tail that inserts itself inside its
respective cell.
- This intracellular
(within the cell) tail then links up to catenin proteins to form the cadherin–catenin
complex.
-
- The cell adhesion proteins of the desmosome - desmoglein and desmocollin - are members of the cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules.
- They are transmembrane proteins that bridge the space between adjacent epithelial cells by way of homophilic binding of their extracellular domains to other desmosomal cadherins on the adjacent cell.
- The Outer Dense Plaque is where the cytoplasmic domains of the cadherins attach to desmoplakin via plakoglobin and plakophillin.
-
- Short proteins called cadherins in the plasma membrane connect to intermediate filaments to create desmosomes.
- The cadherins join two adjacent cells together and maintain the cells in a sheet-like formation in organs and tissues that stretch, such as the skin, heart, and muscles.
- It is created by the linkage of cadherins and intermediate filaments.
-
- This involves a bacterial protein "internalin" which attaches to a protein on the intestinal cell membrane "cadherin. " These adhesion molecules are also to be found in two other unusually tough barriers in humans - the blood-brain barrier and the feto-placental barrier, and this may explain the apparent affinity that Listeria has for causing meningitis and affecting babies in-utero.
