Abstract excerpt
CD151 is a member of the tetraspanin family that is implicated as a promoter of the tumor metastasis of malignant cells. Tetraspanins form membrane complexes with integrins. In the present study, we constructed a CD151-AAA mutant to assess the roles of Rac, cdc42 and phospho-Rac/cdc42 (P-Rac/cdc42) and the effects of CD151‑integrin complexes on the proliferation,...
