The function and regulation of vinculin in cell-cell adhesions
Adherens junctions are essential for embryogenesis and tissue homeostasis. The major transmembrane adhesion receptors in adherens junctions are the cadherins, which mediate cell-cell adhesion by binding to cadherins on adjacent cells. Cadherin function is regulated by the protein complexes that asse...
