N-Cadherin: structure, function and importance in the formation of new intercalated disc-like cell contacts in cardiomyocytes

N-Cadherin belongs to a superfamily of calcium-dependent transmembrane adhesion proteins. It mediates adhesion in the intercalated discs at the termini of cardiomyocytes thereby serving as anchor for myofibrils at cell-cell contacts. A large body of data on the molecular structure and function of N-...
