Pkadheriinijärjestelmä
Pkadheriinijärjestelmä refers to a group of cell adhesion molecules, specifically cadherins, and their associated intracellular proteins. Cadherins are a superfamily of transmembrane proteins that play a crucial role in cell-cell adhesion, mediating homophilic binding, meaning cadherin molecules on one cell bind to the same type of cadherin molecule on an adjacent cell. This process is calcium-dependent, hence the name "cadherin."
The primary function of the Pkadheriinijärjestelmä is to establish and maintain the integrity of tissues by
Dysregulation of cadherin function and the Pkadheriinijärjestelmä has been implicated in various diseases, particularly cancer. Loss
