Definition:
Proteínas de adhesión celular dependientes del calcio. Son importantes en la formación de uniones adherentes entre las células. Son clasificadas por sus especificidades inmunológicas y tisulares, mediante letras (E de epitelial, N de neuronal y P de cadherinas placentarias) o números (cadherina-12 o N-cadherina 2 de cerebro-cadherina). Promueven la adhesión celular por medio de un mecanismo homofílico, como en la construcción de tejidos y del cuerpo entero del animal.
