Summary: Enables calcium ion binding activity; myosin binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; gamete generation; and open tracheal system development. Located in several cellular components, including apical junction complex; recycling endosome; and spot adherens junction. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Part of catenin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm; embryonic/larval circulatory system; epithelium; extended germ band embryo; and gut section. Used to study cancer and prostate cancer.

E-cadherin variants associated with oral facial clefts trigger aberrant cell motility in a REG1A-dependent manner.

DE-cadherin and Myosin II balance regulates furrow length for onset of polygon shape in syncytial Drosophila embryos.

This work suggests distinct effects of tensile versus shear stresses on E-cadherin adhesion.
Title: Distinct contributions of tensile and shear stress on E-cadherin levels during morphogenesis.
Study showed that the highly evolutionary conserved Y654 beta-cat-D665-E-cad major interaction site of the adherens junctions complex acts as primary mechanosensor. The site activates the beta-cat pathway through its mechanical opening in vivo that enables phosphorylation by Src42A kinase.
Title: The major β-catenin/E-cadherin junctional binding site is a primary molecular mechano-transductor of differentiation in vivo.
In disc-proper epithelial cells, DE-cadherin localizes to the zonula adherens, and in puncta at the basal, and lateral sides. Fra overexpression of affects DE-Cadherin distribution and apico-basal cell shape so that there is loss of DE-Cadherin in the basal and lateral regions.
Title: Frazzled can act through distinct molecular pathways in epithelial cells to regulate motility, apical constriction, and localisation of E-Cadherin.
several phospho-mutations dramatically reduced the biosynthetic turnover rate of DE-Cad during apical-basal polarization.
Title: Phosphorylation potential of Drosophila E-Cadherin intracellular domain is essential for development and adherens junction biosynthetic dynamics regulation.
Transmission of cytokinesis forces via E-cadherin dilution and actomyosin flows
Title: Transmission of cytokinesis forces via E-cadherin dilution and actomyosin flows.
alpha-Catenin controls actomyosin dynamics by stabilising and promoting the formation of actomyosin foci, and also stabilises DE-Cadherin (Drosophila E-Cadherin, also known as Shotgun) at the cell membrane, suggesting that medioapical actomyosin contractility regulates junction stability.
Title: α-Catenin stabilises Cadherin-Catenin complexes and modulates actomyosin dynamics to allow pulsatile apical contraction.
