Role of E-Cadherin in Cancer
Abstract: Cadherin protein is the important cell surface protein family, including E-Cadherin, N-Cadherin, VE-Cadherin, P-Cadherin, R-Cadherin and K-Cadherin. E-Cadherin is also called intercellular adhesion molecule-1(CDH1) and plays a key role in intercellular junction. CDH1 maintains cell adhesion and complete structure via involving in cell polarity and migration. The general expression in epithelial tissue is important …
