Abstract excerpt
The Crumbs proteins (CRBs) are transmembrane proteins, homologous to Drosophila Crumbs, with a key role in defining the apical membrane domain in photoreceptors as well as in embryonic epithelia. Crumbs proteins are conserved between species and their intracellular domains are involved in organizing a conserved macromolecular protein scaffold with important roles in cell polarity as well as morphogenesis and...
