Abstract excerpt
Myoblast fusion is a key process in multinucleated muscle formation. Prior to fusion, myoblasts recognize and adhere to each other with the aid of cell-adhesion proteins integrated into the membrane. Their intracellular domains participate in signal transduction by binding to cytoplasmic proteins. Here we identified the calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein N-cadherin as the binding partner of the...
