Some initialisms deriving from Latin may be pronounced either as letters ( qid = "cue eye dee") or using the English expansion ( qid = "four times a day").
Cadherin. Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are cell adhesion molecules important in forming adherens junctions that let cells adhere to each other. [1] Cadherins are a class of type-1 transmembrane proteins, and they depend on calcium (Ca 2+) ions to function, hence their name. Cell-cell adhesion is mediated by extracellular ...
