Expression of Functionally Distinct Variants of the β4A Integrin Subunit in Relation to the Differentiation State in Human Intestinal Cells
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
Integrins are important mediators of cell-laminin interactions. In the small intestinal epithelium, which consists of spatially separated proliferative and differentiated cell populations located, respectively, in the crypt and on the villus, laminins and laminin-binding integrins are differentially expressed along the crypt-villus axis. One exception to this is the integrin alpha(6)beta(4), which is thought to...
