The transcriptional regulation of junctional adhesion molecule 2 by E-cadherin in mouse embryonic stem cells

E-cadherin is a cell surface glycoprotein involved in calcium-dependent cell adhesion. E-cadherin expression is essential during embryo development as E-cadherin null (Ecad-/-) embryos fail to develop beyond the blastocyst stage. Furthermore, E-cadherin is down-regulated during epithelial to mesench...
