| + | E-cadherin is a tumor suppressor gene. Degradation or loss of function of the gene is thought to be linked to metastasis and proliferation of tumors. In particular, mutations in the E-cadherin gene are linked to a series of cancers, including gastric, breast, colorectal, ovarian, and thyroid cancers. | ||

| - | + | E-cadherin is 213 amino acids long. The molecule is comprised of five cadherin extensions, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail. In epithelial cells, E-cadherin contains cell-to-cell junctions often located close to actin-filaments within the cytoskeleton of a cell. E-cadherin is a homodimer, meaning that it is made up of two identical subunits. | |
