Abstract:
|
Afadin, the protein coded by AFDN (6q27), also known as AF6 or MLLT4, is a cytoskeletal and junction-associated protein that links nectins, transmembrane proteins, to the F-actin (actin cytoskeleton) in a type of cell-cell junctions: the adherens junctions (AJs). Afadin plays an important role in AJs integrity and apical-basal polarity. There is growing evidence of it's role in carcinogenesis. |
