ell-cell adhesion is critical for the survival of all multi-cellular organisms. Homotypic interactions between cadherin molecules are necessary for cell-cell adhesion and tissue specificity. Cell-cell adhesion is regulated by many proteins, including the catenins which attach cadherin to the cytoskeleton.
