Expression of catenins and E-cadherin during epithelial restitution in inflammatory bowel disease
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
Catenins are cytoplasmic proteins associated with E-cadherin, the prime mediator of cell-cell adhesion. Perturbation in any of these molecules results in altered intercellular adhesion, cell differentiation, and increased migration. In this study, the expression and cellular localization of catenins and E-cadherin in inflammatory bowel disease were examined. The expression of E-cadherin; alpha-, beta-, and...
