Nectin and Nectin-Like Molecules: Biology and Pathology

1 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

Nectins and nectin-like molecules (Necls) are structurally related transmembrane proteins primarily involved in cell adhesion. Nectins and afadin, the adaptor or anchoring protein, stabilize the epithelium and endothelium and establish apical-basal polarity of epithelial cells, independently or in cooperation with other cell adhesion molecules. Necls facilitate cell-cell communication implicated in cell movement...
