+[[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), VE-CDH (vascular epithelial), T-CDH bound to membrane, N-CDH (neurons).  The CDH superfamily contains protocadhedrins (Prot-CDH), desmogleins (Des-CDH) and more.   Calcium ions are shown as a space filling objects.
