Abstract excerpt
Cadherins are linked to actin through α- and β -catenin. p120 catenin (p120) also binds to the cadherin cytoplasmic domain and prevents cadherin endocytosis. In mouse epidermis, p120 gene ablation leads to severe skin inflammation and early postnatal lethality. These outcomes have been ascribed to cadherin-independent functions of p120 in RhoA and NFκB inflammatory signaling. However, the downregulation of...
