The Basolateral Targeting Signal of CD147 (EMMPRIN) Consists of a Single Leucine and Is Not Recognized by Retinal Pigment Epithelium
24 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
CD147, a type I integral membrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily, exhibits reversed polarity in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). CD147 is apical in RPE in contrast to its basolateral localization in extraocular epithelia. This elicited our interest in understanding the basolateral sorting signals of CD147 in prototypic Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The cytoplasmic domain of CD147 has...
