E-cadherin, P-cadherin, and N-cadherin proteins {cadherin} are calcium adhesion molecules (CAM). E-cadherin is 120 kDa, spans cell membrane, and connects with catenins that link to cytoskeleton actin. Cancer cells have low cadherin and low intercellular adhesion. Protocadherin affects brain development.
