Control of normal mammary epithelial phenotype by integrins.

Abstract excerpt

Mammary epithelial cells contact a specialized extracellular matrix in vivo known as the basement membrane. Interactions with extracellular matrix are mediated through integrins. These cell surface receptors are involved with the formation of adhesion complexes, which link the extracellular matrix with the actin-based cytoskeleton, and are also associated with components of growth factor signaling pathways....
