We cloned the Xenopus homologue of cadherin-11 and studied its spatiotemporal
expression pattern during early development. The messenger RNA is present from the mid-
gastrulation through embryo development. It is expressed in different neural crest cell
populations, during their migration and differentiation. This pattern, unexpected for an
adhesion molecule, reinforces the idea of novel functions for type II cadherins.
