Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that EFA6, exchange factor for Arf6, is implicated upon E-cadherin engagement in the process of epithelial cell polarization. We had found that EFA6 acts through stabilization of the apical actin ring onto which the tight junction is anchored. Mutagenesis experiments s...
