Abstract excerpt
Vangl1 and Vangl2 are membrane proteins that play an important role in neurogenesis, and Vangl1/Vangl2 mutations cause neural tube defects in mice and humans. At the cellular level, Vangl proteins regulate the establishment of planar cell polarity (PCP), a process requiring membrane assembly of asymmetrically distributed multiprotein complexes that transmit polarity information to neighboring cells. The membrane...
