The protein composition of the plasma membrane of animal cells is complex. Cells of hepatocyte origin in tissue culture have, for example, at least 100 proteins and glycoproteins externally oriented on their plasma membrane (1, 2). The organization of these proteins in the plasma membrane of cells i

Cultured human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells were used to study the genesis of polarity in single cells. HEL cells grow in suspension in culture medium, but attach and spread on fibronectin when treated with 10 nM phorbol myristate acetate. If the spread cells are treated with dibutyryl cyclic adenosi

Neurons have unique structural and functional polarity. In general, information flows from the short dendrites to the long axon, and each neuron has multiple dendrites but only one axon. A detailed description of the cellular events leading to the establishment of axonal-dendritic polarity has been
