Abstract excerpt
Alterations in intercellular junction and membrane cytoskeletal proteins may underlie some of the morphological, invasive and metastatic properties of cancer. E-cadherin, a transmembrane protein that functions in epithelial cell-cell interactions at adherens junctions, is linked to the membrane cytoskeletal matrix through interactions with alpha- and beta-catenin. We have carried out studies of E-cadherin and...
