Let's stick together: The role of the Fras1 and Frem proteins in epidermal adhesion
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The Fras1 and Frem extracellular matrix proteins play critical roles in epithelial-mesenchymal interaction during embryonic development. Loss of function in humans results in a recessive embryonic blistering disorder called Fraser syndrome. Inactivation of these proteins, or the proteins with which they interact (e.g., Grip1) has also been shown to underlie members of the 'bleb' family of classic mouse mutants...
