产品描述： background: Cadherins comprise a family of Ca2+-dependent adhesion molecules that function to mediate cell-cell binding critical to the maintenance

of tissue structure and morphogenesis. Members of this family of adhesion proteins include rat cadherin K (and its human homolog,

cadherin-6), R-cadherin, B-cadherin, E/P cadherin and cadherin-5. The classical cadherins, E-, N- and P-cadherin, consist of large

extracellular domains characterized by a series of five homologous NH2 terminal repeats. The most distal of these cadherins is thought to

be responsible for binding specificity, transmembrane domains and carboxy terminal intracellular domains. The relatively short intracellular

domains interact with a variety of cytoplasmic proteins, such as ∫-catenin, to regulate cadherin function.
