## Abstract Maintenance of intestinal epithelial barrier functions is crucial to prevent systemic contamination by microbes that penetrate from the gut lumen. GTPases of the Rhoโfamily such as RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 are known to be critically involved in the regulation of intestinal epithelial barri
In vitro experiments have shown that the establishment of cell-cell contacts in intestinal epithelial cell cultures is a critical step in initiating ERK inhibition, cell cycle arrest, and induction of the differentiation process. Herein, we determined the mechanisms through which E-cadherin-mediated
Although the presence of a dominant basolateral sorting signal ensures that the majority of newly synthesized epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors are delivered directly to the basolateral surface in polarized epithelial cells, a fraction of the receptors are also delivered to the apical surface.
Calcium channels in the heart play a major role in cardiac function. These channels are modulated in a variety of ways, including protein phosphorylation. Cyclic AMP-mediated phosphorylation is the best understood phosphorylation mechanism which regulates calcium influx into cardiac cells. Binding o
