N-Cadherin also known as CDH2 or neuronal cadherin is a calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein. It is characterized by its role in mediating intercellular connections primarily through its presence on neurons fibroblasts and certain epithelial cells. N-Cadherin has an approximate mass of 130 kDa. The protein is integral in forming homophilic interactions where N-Cadherin molecules on adjacent cells interact to establish robust cell-cell adhesion.
Biological function summary
N-Cadherin significantly influences cell-cell interaction and communication facilitating cellular adhesion and signal transduction. It is a vital component of adherens junctions contributing to tissue morphogenesis and stability. N-Cadherin interacts with other cytoplasmic proteins such as catenins forming a complex essential for linking the actin cytoskeleton to the cell membrane. This interaction affects cellular behaviors including migration and differentiation.
Pathways
N-Cadherin plays a significant role in the neural development and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathways important for development and cancer progression. It engages with related proteins such as beta-catenin which helps transduce signals within these pathways. N-Cadherin's interactions within these pathways highlight its role in maintaining multicellular structure and signaling processes important for development and pathogenesis.
N-Cadherin is associated with cancer and heart disease. In cancer particularly in the context of the EMT N-Cadherin facilitates tumor progression and metastasis cooperating with proteins like Twist and Snail to promote these processes. In heart disease alterations in N-Cadherin expression and function can impact cardiac muscle integrity and syncytium highlighting potential interactions with connexin43 to maintain cardiac function. Understanding these associations provides insights into therapeutic targets for these conditions.
