Background

N-Cadherin or neural cadherin also known as Cadherin 2 (CDH 2) or NCAD is a type-I classical cadherin, along with E-Cadherin, P-Cadherin, R-Cadherin, and M-Cadherin. This transmembrane protein plays a crucial role in calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. In an anti-parallel conformation, its extracellular region interacts with another N-Cadherin molecule on an adjacent cell, forming a linear adhesive "zipper" through repeated dimer interfaces. Its C-terminal, cytoplasmic tail binds to catenins, which in turn link to the actin cytoskeleton (1). N-Cadherin is prevalent in non-epithelial tissues and is expressed in different types of cells such as neural cells, endothelial cells, stromal cells and osteoblasts. It plays an important role in renal epithelial integrity and polarity and is expressed in proximal renal tubules (2). Additionally, N-Cadherin plays a key role in reproductive biology (3) and in myocardium (4). In neural tissue, N-Cadherin replaces E-Cadherin during neurulation, forming strong adherens junctions to maintain tissue architecture and regulates proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells. Cleavage of N-Cadherin modulates adult neural stem cell functional quiescence (5).
N-Cadherin serves as an indicator of ongoing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its expression has been correlated with the development of various types of carcinomas. It also promotes angiogenesis and the integrity of blood vessels by ensheathing endothelial and mural cells, stabilizing microvessels (6).
