The cells of the epiblast of a developing mammalian embryo display cell adhesion molecules on their surfaces that presumably promote their close association with one another. What are these molecules termed?
A)selectins
B)E-cadherins
C)P-cadherins
D)integrins
E)IgSFs

E-cadherins are cell adhesion molecules that are found on the surface of cells, including the epiblast cells of developing mammalian embryos. They promote the association of cells with one another by binding to adjacent cells via homophilic interactions.
