Kadherriinijärjestelmän
Kadherriinijärjestelmän, often translated as the cadherin system, refers to a superfamily of transmembrane proteins that play a crucial role in cell adhesion. These proteins are essential for the formation and maintenance of multicellular tissues in animals. Cadherins mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion, meaning their function requires the presence of calcium ions.
There are many different types of cadherins, each with specific expression patterns in different tissues and
The cytoplasmic domain of cadherins interacts with components of the cytoskeleton, particularly actin filaments, through adapter
