PINCH-1 Is an Obligate Partner of Integrin-linked Kinase (ILK) Functioning in Cell Shape Modulation, Motility, and Survival
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
PINCH-1 is a widely expressed focal adhesion protein that forms a ternary complex with integrin-linked kinase (ILK) and CH-ILKBP/actopaxin/alpha-parvin (abbreviated as alpha-parvin herein). We have used RNA interference, a powerful approach of reverse genetics, to investigate the functions of PINCH-1 and ILK in human cells. We report here the following. First, PINCH-1 and ILK, but not alpha-parvin, are essential...
