General Information
Term adherens junction ID (Ontology) GO:0005912 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A cell-cell junction composed of the epithelial cadherin-catenin complex. The epithelial cadherins, or E-cadherins, of each interacting cell extend through the plasma membrane into the extracellular space and bind to each other. The E-cadherins bind to catenins on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, where the E-cadherin-catenin complex binds to cytoskeletal components and regulatory and signaling molecules.[ ISBN:0198506732 PubMed:17854762 PubMed:20571587 PubMed:21422226 PubMed:28096264 ]
Also Known As "cell-cell adherens junction"
