Abstract
We cloned the Xenopus homologue of cadherin-ll and studied its spatiot emporal expression pattern during early development. The messenger RNA is present from the mid-gastrulation through embryo development. It i s expressed in different neural crest cell populations, during their m igration and differentiation. This pattern, unexpected for an adhesion molecule, reinforces the idea of novel functions for type II cadherin s. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
