Analysis of Sequence and Function of Drosophila Microvillus Cadherins, Cad74A, Cad87A, and Cad88C
Microvilli are actin-based protrusions at the apical surface of epithelial cells and have diverse functions. My bioinformatic analysis suggests that human Cadherin 23, which is critical for normal microvillus development, has three paralogous homologues in Drosophila, Cad74A, Cad87A, and Cad88C. A...
