The cell junction protein VAB-9 regulates adhesion and epidermal morphology in C. elegans.

Nature cell biology - 1 Jul 2003

Simske Jeffrey S, Köppen Mathias, Sims Paul, Hodgkin Jonathan, Yonkof Alicia, Hardin Jeff

Abstract excerpt

Epithelial cell junctions are essential for cell polarity, adhesion and morphogenesis. We have analysed VAB-9, a cell junction protein in Caenorhabditis elegans. VAB-9 is a predicted four-pass integral membrane protein that has greatest similarity to BCMP1 (brain cell membrane protein 1, a member...
