Details
This decapeptide resides within the first extracellular domain (EC1) of N-cadherin. It inhibits cadherin-mediated cell adhesion, compaction of eight-cell-stage mouse embryos and rat neurite outgrowth on astrocytes. In the presence of this peptide Ca²⁺-dependent cell aggregation of bovine brain microvessel endothelial cells is prevented. A putative application in creating channels for paracellular drug delivery across blood brain barriers has been proposed.
