Summary

The adherens junction is an element of the cell-cell junction in which cadherin receptors bridge the neighboring plasma membranes via their homophilic interactions, and elucidating the molecular architecture of the AJs and their regulatory mechanisms are crucial for understanding how the multicellular system is organized.
