The Tetraspan Molecule Cd151, a Novel Constituent of Hemidesmosomes, Associates with the Integrin α6β4 and May Regulate the Spatial Organization of Hemidesmosomes
15 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
CD151 is a cell surface protein that belongs to the tetraspan superfamily. It associates with other tetraspan molecules and certain integrins to form large complexes at the cell surface. CD151 is expressed by a variety of epithelia and mesenchymal cells. We demonstrate here that in human skin CD151 is codistributed with alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4 at the basolateral surface of basal keratinocytes. Immunoelectron...
