Abstract excerpt
PECAM-1/CD31, a vascular cell adhesion/signaling molecule that has been implicated in a number of vascular functions (including angiogenesis and the transmigration of leukocytes through endothelium) is highly enriched at the cell-cell borders of adjacent endothelial cells. To identify the mechanisms responsible for this localization, a series of PECAM-1 mutants and chimeric PECAM-1 molecules were transfected into...
