Scope note: Proteínas de adhesión celular dependientes del calcio. Tienen importancia en la formacion de UNIONES ADHERENTES entre células. Las caderinas se clasifican, según su especificidad inmunológica y las especificidades tisulares, mediante letras (E- epiteliales, N- neurales, y P- placentarias) o mediante números (caderina-12 o N-caderina 2 para la caderina cerebral). Las caderinas promueven la adhesión celular a través de un mecanismo homofílico, e intervienen en la construcción de tejidos y la totalidad del cuerpo animal.

Scope note: Calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They are important in the formation of ADHERENS JUNCTIONS between cells. Cadherins are classified by their distinct immunological and tissue specificities, either by letters (E- for epithelial, N- for neural, and P- for placental cadherins) or by numbers (cadherin-12 or N-cadherin 2 for brain-cadherin). Cadherins promote cell adhesion via a homophilic mechanism as in the construction of tissues and of the whole animal body.
