N-cadherin orientational order decreases with mechanical load at cardiomyocyte adherens junctions
Adherens junctions physically connect neighboring cells and are built around classical cadherins, homophilic transmembrane proteins that link to the actin cytoskeleton.
Adherens junctions physically connect neighboring cells and are built around classical cadherins, homophilic transmembrane proteins that link to the actin cytoskeleton. Classical cadherins can organize into ordered arrays in vitro, but whether they do so in cells remains to be…
