Abstract Cadherins are protein molecules that promote cell adhesion in the presence of calcium. There are several classes of cadherins. The expression of two of these, namely the N- and E-cadherins, is intrinsically associated with the embryonic development of the kidney and thus their study provides a molecular basis for understanding the epithelial organization of this organ.
