ABSTRACT:
DNA sequences encoding novel cadherins, desginated cadherins-4 through -12, are disclosed along with methods and materials for the recombinant production of the same. Antibody substances specific for the novel cadherins and cadherin peptides are disclosed as useful for modulating the natural binding and/or regulatory activities of the cadherins.
