[[Cadherin|Cadherins]] (CDH) are calcium-dependent adhesion proteins. They contain extracellular CDH repeats (EC1-EC5) which bind calcium ions. They are encoded by numerous genes numbered CDH1-CDH23. Some names of CDH indicate their locations: E-CDH (epithelial tissue), T-CDH bound to membrane, N-CDH (neurons). The CDH superfamily contains protocadhedrins (Prot-CDH), desmogleins (Des-CDH) and more. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Cadherin, ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of Cadherin ([[1q1p]]). Calcium ions is shown as a space filling objects. | [[Cadherin|Cadherins]] (CDH) are calcium-dependent adhesion proteins. They contain extracellular CDH repeats (EC1-EC5) which bind calcium ions.
