	"Cadherins" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus, 
	MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure, 
	which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
 
	
	
		
			
			
				Calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They are important in the formation of ADHERENS JUNCTIONS between cells. Cadherins are classified by their distinct immunological and tissue specificities, either by letters (E- for epithelial, N- for neural, and P- for placental cadherins) or by numbers (cadherin-12 or N-cadherin 2 for brain-cadherin). Cadherins promote cell adhesion via a homophilic mechanism as in the construction of tissues and of the whole animal body.
