E-cadherin does not travel directly from the Golgi complex to the cell surface, but transits first through Rab11-positive recycling endosomes. Rab11 is involved in E-cadherin localization to the surface of the cell .
In addition to acting as way stations for newly synthesized cadherin on its way to the plasma membrane, Rab11-positive recycling endosomes can also sort internalized cadherin for recycling back to the cell surface.
Desclozeaux and colleagues also found that cadherin recycling is necessary for maintaining adherens junctions.

CTNNB1 (beta-catenin) binds with high affinity to the distal Cadherin cytoplasmic tail.
Cadherin recruits CTNNA1 (alpha-catenin) to the complex.
CTNNA1 (alpha-catenin) binds to Actin filaments directly
CTNNA1 (alpha-catenin) and can also associate with other actin-binding proteins (MLLT4 or Formin)
CTNND1 (delta-catenin or p120) binds directly to Cadherin independently of the other catenins.
Catenins/Cadherin complex can further interact with a range of singaling molecules which participate in either cellular signaling or control of cytoskeletal dynamics.
Stability of Cadherin/Catenins complex and thereby the integrity of adherens junctions is controlled by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation.
