Abstract excerpt
The apical plasma membrane of epithelial cells plays a central role in producing and shaping the apical extracellular matrix (aECM) that eventually adopts a stereotypic architecture required for the physical and physiological needs of the epithelium. To assess the implication of the apical plasma membrane on aECM differentiation, we have studied the function of the apical plasma membrane t-SNARE Syntaxin 1A in...
