Abstract excerpt
Catenins are proteins associated with the cytoplasmic domain of cadherins, a family of transmembrane cell adhesion molecules. The cadherin-catenin adhesion system is involved in morphogenesis during development and in the maintenance of the integrity of different tissue types. Using a gene trap s...
