Defects in Nuclear and Cytoskeletal Morphology and Mitochondrial Localization in Spermatozoa of Mice Lacking Nectin-2, a Component of Cell-Cell Adherens Junctions
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Nectin-2 is a cell adhesion molecule encoded by a member of the poliovirus receptor gene family. This family consists of human, monkey, rat, and murine genes that are members of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. Nectin-2 is a component of cell-cell adherens junctions and interacts with l-afadin, an F-actin-binding protein. Disruption of both alleles of the murine nectin-2 gene resulted in morphologically...
