钙粘着蛋白超家族背景综述
The Cadherin (Calcium dependent adhesion molecule) Superfamily includes cadherins, protocadherins, desmogleins, and desmocollins, and more. In structure, they share cadherin repeats, which are the extracellular Ca2+-binding domains. Classical Cadherins are versatile cell–cell adhesion receptors, and play important roles in animal development, such as the patterning of the central nervous system, and stable tissue fomation. As type I membrane glycoproteins, they function as dynamic membrane-spanning macro-molecular complexes. Because of the classical cadherins lack intrinsic enzymatic activity, their interactions with intracellular events occur through these intermediary proteins. The best-understood of these associated proteins are β-catenin, which binds directly to the distal region of the cytoplasmic tail; α-catenin, which is indirectly coupled to the cadherin complex by association with β-catenin; and p120-catenin which binds to the membrane-proximal region of the cadherin cytoplasmic tail. There are other members of the Cadherin Superfamily that do not contain obvious catenin-binding sites, but, at least in some cases, are slso be grouped into subfamilies, such as the protocadherins, the Fat-like cadherins and the seven-pass transmembrane cadherins. Different members of the Cadherin Superfamily are found in different locations. E-cadherins are found in epithelial tissue. N-cadherins are found in neurons, and P-cadherins are found in the placenta. T-cadherins have no cytoplasmic domains and must be tethered to the plasma membrane. Recently, E-cadherin is used by pathologists to diagnose different kinds of breast cancer. In addition, N-cadherin, VE-cadherin and OB-cadherin also have been implicated as regulators of tumor growth and metastasis. Thus, cadherins and their antagonists have been used as cancer diagnoses and therapy.
