The function of 7D-cadherins: a mathematical model predicts physiological importance for water transport through simple epithelia

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>7D-cadherins like LI-cadherin are cell adhesion molecules and represent exceptional members of the cadherin superfamily. Although LI-cadherin was shown to act as a functional Ca<sup>2+</sup>-dependent adhesion molecule, l...
