AmiGO 2: Term Details for "adherens junction" (GO:0005912)

Accession: GO:0005912
Name: adherens junction
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: cell-cell adherens junction
Alternate IDs: GO:0005913
Definition: A cell-cell junction composed of the epithelial cadherin-catenin complex. The epithelial cadherins, or E-cadherins, of each interacting cell extend through the plasma membrane into the extracellular space and bind to each other. The E-cadherins bind to catenins on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, where the E-cadherin-catenin complex binds to cytoskeletal components and regulatory and signaling molecules.
