E-cadherin (CDH1), an epithelial adhesion protein, is expressed throughout the epiblast, and is downregulated in nascent mesoderm during the epithelial to mesenchymal transition in early gastrulation, and upregulated in definitive endoderm at mid-gastrulation (inferred from mouse embryos). CDH1 expressed in definitive endoderm (DE) is hypothesized to participate in sorting DE from mesoderm (inferred from mouse embryos). MIXL1, in the primitive streak, and SOX17, in the endoderm, activate expression of CDH1 (inferred from mouse homologs).
