E-cadherin (uvomorulin, cell-CAM120/80) is a calcium-dependent cell-adhesion molecule expressed predominately in epithelial tissues. This 120 kDa trasmembrane glycoprotein is localized predominately to the lateral cell border and is associated with the contractile cytoskeleton. E-cadherin molecules exhibit homophilic binding interactions and play a central role in cellular organization and morphogenetic regulation. Numerous studies have demonstrated that reduction and/or loss of E-cadherin expression in carcinomas correlates positively with the potential of these tumors for invasion and metastasis.
