Abstract excerpt
Elimination of epiplakin (EPPK) by gene targeting in mice results in acceleration of keratinocyte migration during wound healing, suggesting that epithelial cellular EPPK may be important for the regulation of cellular motility. To study the function of EPPK, we developed EPPK knock-down (KD) and EPPK-overexpressing HeLa cells and analyzed cellular phenotypes and motility by fluorescence/differential interference...
