Occludin Is Involved in Adhesion, Apoptosis, Differentiation and Ca2+-Homeostasis of Human Keratinocytes: Implications for Tumorigenesis
4 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Tight junction (TJ) proteins are involved in a number of cellular functions, including paracellular barrier formation, cell polarization, differentiation, and proliferation. Altered expression of TJ proteins was reported in various epithelial tumors. Here, we used tissue samples of human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), its precursor tumors, as well as sun-exposed and non-sun-exposed skin as a model...
