Biological function summary
M-Cadherin facilitates cell-cell adhesion which is vital for the proper alignment of muscle cells during development and repair. This protein is a critical component of the adherens junction complex. During muscle regeneration M-Cadherin helps satellite cells to adhere to existing muscle fibers promoting the fusion needed for effective muscle repair. It operates alongside other proteins including β-catenin and α-catenin which link cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton reinforcing structural integrity.
Pathways
Different cellular processes involve M-Cadherin playing a role in the Wnt signaling and Notch signaling pathways. Wnt signaling is significant in muscle development and regeneration. M-Cadherin interacts with β-catenin in this pathway balancing the regulation of cellular adhesion and signaling events. In the Notch signaling pathway M-Cadherin influences satellite cell activation and proliferation helping maintain muscle stem cell populations which are important under conditions requiring muscle repair.

General info
Function
Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. M-cadherin is part of the myogenic program and may provide a trigger for terminal muscle differentiation.
