Abstract excerpt
Based on recent data showing that overexpression of the Na,K-ATPase beta(1) subunit increased cell-cell adhesion of nonpolarized cells, we hypothesized that the beta(1) subunit can also be involved in the formation of cell-cell contacts in highly polarized epithelial cells. In support of this hypothesis, in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, the Na,K-ATPase alpha(1) and beta(1) subunits were detected as...
