Three mechanisms control E-cadherin localization to the zonula adherens

E-cadherin is an adhesion molecule mediating cell-cell adhesion; correct localization is important but how localization is controlled is not clear. Here the authors use Drosophilaas a model system to distinguish three distinct trafficking pathways that direct E-cadherin to the zonula adherens.
