Prion protein region 23-32 interacts with tubulin and inhibits microtubule assembly.

30 Oct 2009 In previous studies we have demonstrated that prion protein (PrP) binds directly to tubulin and this interaction leads to the inhibition of microtubule formation by inducement of tubulin oligomerization. This report is aimed at mapping the regions ... Read more...

E2F4 expression is required for cell cycle progression of normal intestinal crypt cells and colorectal cancer cells.

30 Oct 2009 The generation of knock-out mice for E2F4 gene expression has suggested a role for this transcription factor in establishing and/or maintaining the intestinal crypt compartment. Having previously demonstrated that E2F4 is cytoplasmic in ... Read more...

Sonic hedgehog regulates integrin activity, cadherin contacts, and cell polarity to orchestrate neural tube morphogenesis.

5 Oct 2009 In vertebrates, the embryonic nervous system is shaped and patterned by a series of temporally and spatially regulated cell divisions, cell specifications, and cell adhesions and movements. Morphogens of the Hedgehog, Wnt, and bone morphogenetic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Epithelial Cells'

Definition: Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) from mesoderm.
