Genome-wide identification and spatiotemporal expression analysis of cadherin superfamily members in echinoderms
Abstract Background Cadherins are calcium-dependent transmembrane cell–cell adhesion proteins that are essential for metazoan development. They consist of three subfamilies: classical cadherins, which bind catenin, protocadherins, which contain 6–7 calcium-binding repeat domains, and atypical cadher...
