Cadherins and catenins in development

Curr Opin Cell Biol. 1996 Oct;8(5):685-91. doi: 10.1016/s0955-0674(96)80110-4.

Abstract

Cadherins and catenins represent key molecules during development. Recent findings demonstrate the involvement of cadherins and catenins in signaling pathways. In a working hypothesis, signaling via beta-catenin regulates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vertebrate development.
