The C. elegans F-spondin family protein SPON-1 maintains cell adhesion in neural and non-neural tissues.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Aug 2008

Abstract excerpt

The F-spondin family of extracellular matrix proteins has been implicated in axon outgrowth, fasciculation and neuronal cell migration, as well as in the differentiation and proliferation of non-neuronal cells. In screens for mutants defective in C. elegans embryonic morphogenesis, we identified SPON-1, the only C. elegans member of the spondin family. SPON-1 is synthesized in body muscles and localizes to...
