N-Cadherin

N-Cadherin is a type of protein found on the surface of certain cells, especially nerve cells and muscle cells. It acts like biological glue, helping these cells stick together and communicate effectively. This adhesion is essential for the development of tissues and the formation of connections between cells. N-Cadherin also plays a role in maintaining the structure and stability of tissues, supporting processes like growth, repair, and neural activity. Its proper function is crucial for healthy development, and changes in N-Cadherin levels are linked to conditions such as cancer and neurological disorders.
