Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Unlike most monolayer epithelial cells, cultured RPE are competent to form a zonular adhesion of N- rather than E-cadherin. To determine whether other normal epithelial cells do likewise, cells with high endogenous N-cadherin were cloned from the typically E-cadherin dominant epithelial line Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK) to analyze cell and junction phenotype in the presence of N-cadherin....
