Electron microscopy of ECADCOMP, a recombinant E-cadherin ectodomain pentamerized by the assembly domain of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, has been used to analyze the role of cis-dimerization and trans-interaction in the homophilic association of this cell adhesion molecule Walmod et al., Neurochem Res 2004
:
The neural cell adhesion molecule , NCAM, is involved in multiple cis- and trans-homophilic interactions ( NCAM binding to NCAM ) thereby facilitating cell-cell adhesion through the formation of zipper-like NCAM-complexes
