Morphogenesis of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium: Toward Understanding Retinal Degenerative Diseases<sup>a</sup>
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
The phenotype of an epithelial cell is defined by a unique combination of morphology, gene and protein expression, and protein localization. Results indicate that the terminal differentiation of the RPE cell can be described in part by changes in the polarity of its surface proteins alpha v beta 5 integrin, Na,K-ATPase, N-CAM, and EMMPRIN. Changes in protein/gene expression and protein localization in late stages...
