The role of the cleaved cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin in signalling

E-cadherin is the most crucial membrane protein for the formation of tight and compact cell-cell adhesions in epithelial cells. E-cadherin based cell-cell junctions (adherens junctions) are highly dynamically regulated, for example during epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) when E-cadherin at...
