Figure 2.

Shematic illustration of E-cadherin in adherens junction. E-cadherin homodimer on the cytoplasmic membranes of adjacent cells is shown. The juxtamembrane region with the interacting molecules is also shown. CM – cytoplasmic membrane; AJ – adherens junction; ED – extracellular domain; ID – intracellular domain; AC – actin cytoskeleton; 1-beta-catenin; 2-alpha-catenin; 3-p120.
