Mammalian occludins are highly conserved at the amino acid level, but are considerably different from chicken occludin. This accounts for the difficulty in cloning the mammalian forms of this important junctional protein.

J Cell Biol. 129:1995;203-217 A description of catenins and their association with cadherin in ECs. This paper suggests that VE-cadherin (originally designated as cadherin-5) is a (or, perhaps, the) functional cadherin in peripheral ECs. The definitive identification of brain EC cadherins remains unresolved.

Association of p120, a tyrosine kinase substrate, with E-cadherin/catenin complexes. J Cell Biol. 128:1995;949-957 This paper and others [33,40-42] demonstrate that the src substrate p120 is associated with the cadherin - catenin complex. Since src-like kinases are also thought to be associated with the adherens junctions, it seems likely that these proteins will form part of a system that regulates events that depend on cell - cell contact, such as junctional permeability and cell growth.
