Brief description:  Cadherins are glycoproteins involved in Ca2+-mediated cell-cell adhesion; these domains occur as repeats in the extracellular regions which are thought to mediate cell-cell contact when bound. Even though Cleft Palet or Cleft Lip are congenital defects curing this early in the pregnancy would be ideal.
