| - | The adhesive binding of CDH arises from the exchange of β strand of one CDH with the strand of CDH of a neighboring cell termed ''strand swap''. | + | The adhesive binding of CDH arises from the exchange of β strand of one CDH with the strand of CDH of a neighboring cell termed ''strand swap''. The strand swapping is enhanced by 2 Trp residues docking into the hydrophobic pocket of the neighboring CDH molecule. |
