Distinct Roles of Two Structurally Closely Related Focal Adhesion Proteins, α-Parvins and β-Parvins, in Regulation of Cell Morphology and Survival
29 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Proteins at cell-extracellular matrix adhesions (e.g. focal adhesions) are crucially involved in regulation of cell morphology and survival. We show here that CH-ILKBP/actopaxin/alpha-parvin and affixin/beta-parvin (abbreviated as alpha- and beta-parvin, respectively), two structurally closely related integrin-linked kinase (ILK)-binding focal adhesion proteins, are co-expressed in human cells. Depletion of...
