== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CADH1_MOUSE CADH1_MOUSE] Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. CDH1 is involved in mechanisms regulating cell-cell adhesions, mobility and proliferation of epithelial cells. Has a potent invasive suppressor role. It is a ligand for integrin alpha-E/beta-7 (By similarity).  E-Cad/CTF2 promotes non-amyloidogenic degradation of Abeta precursors. Has a strong inhibitory effect on APP C99 and C83 production (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Crystal structures of classical cadherins have revealed two dimeric configurations. In the first, N-terminal beta-strands of EC1 domains 'swap' between partner molecules. The second configuration (the 'X dimer'), also observed for T-cadherin, is mediated by residues near the EC1-EC2 calcium binding sites, and N-terminal beta-strands of partner EC1 domains, though held adjacent, do not swap. Here we show that strand-swapping mutants of type I and II classical cadherins form X dimers. Mutant cadherins impaired for X-dimer formation show no binding in short-time frame surface plasmon resonance assays, but in long-time frame experiments, they have homophilic binding affinities close to that of wild type. Further experiments show that exchange between monomers and dimers is slowed in these mutants. These results reconcile apparently disparate results from prior structural studies and suggest that X dimers are binding intermediates that facilitate the formation of strand-swapped dimers.
