Protein insolubility and late-stage morphogenesis in long-term postconfluent cultures of MDCK epithelial cells.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 29 May 1997

Cao F, Burke J M

Abstract excerpt

Epithelial morphogenesis in vitro has been studied in cultures soon after cell-cell contact at confluency when several actin-associated proteins (fodrin, adherens junction molecules E-cadherin and catenins) localize to specific subcellular domains and become resistant to extraction with non-ionic...
