Characterization of E-cadherin Endocytosis in Isolated MCF-7 and Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells
30 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
The endocytosis of E-cadherin has recently emerged as an important determinant of cadherin function with the potential to participate in remodeling adhesive contacts. In this study we focused on the initial fate of E-cadherin when it predominantly exists free on the cell surface prior to adhesive binding or incorporation into junctions. Surface-labeling techniques were used to define the endocytic itinerary of...
