摘要：

Dendrite morphogenesis is a highly dynamic process that involves constant extension and retraction of branches, and stabilization of these dynamics has pivotal roles in determining the number and length of branches. The classic cadherin N-cadherin is involved in stabilization of dendritic spines and branches. Recent work in mammals by Shima et A, and earlier work in Drosophila by Gao et A and Sweeney et A have determined the presence of a non-classic, seven-pass transmembrane cadherin in this process.
