Abstract excerpt
The transmembrane protein Crumbs (Crb), a key regulator of apical polarity, has a known involvement in establishment of the apical zonula adherens in epithelia, although the precise mechanism remains elusive. The zonula adherens are required to maintain the integrity and orderly arrangement of epithelia. Loss of the zonula adherens leads to morphogenetic defects in the tissues derived from epithelium. In this...
