Classical cadherin adhesion molecules are key determinants of cell recognition and tissue morphogenesis, with diverse effects on cell behavior. Recent developments indicate that classical cadherins are adhesion-activated signaling receptors. In particular, early-immediate Rac signaling is emerging as a mechanism to coordinate cadherin-actin integration at the plasma membrane.
