<prompt> All of the following statements about cadherins are true, EXCEPT:Adhesion is Ca-dependent and homophilicWhen mixed together, cells expressing different cadherins so out into homotypic cell aggregatesCadherins associate with the actin cytoskeletonCadherins interact with components of the basement membrane  <response>: This is an incorrect statement and hence the correct answer for this EXCEPT question. Cadherins are involved in cell-cell adhesive interactions and not cell-ECM interactions. Binding of epithelial cells to basement membrane components, such as occurs with hemidesmosomes, involves integrins.
