... polarity (Guerrier et al., 1995). Moreover, Cx43 assembly into GJs and its association with ZO-2 (also known as TJP2) – and also adherens junction-related α- and β-catenins – has been related to mammary epithelial differentiation (Talhouk et al., 2008). Whether GJs and tight junctions work together...

... and functions as an adapter, linking InsP 3 Rs to vimentin intermediate filaments. Upon epithelial differentiation, KRAP and vimentin are both required for InsP 3 R accumulation at the periphery of MDCK cells. Finally, KRAP associates with vimentin in chicken B lymphocytes and with keratins in a breast cancer...

Oral, medial and nasal epithelial differentiation is specified by the underlying mesenchyme in vivo and in vitro...
