Ferlins are a family of multiple C 2 domain proteins with emerging roles in vesicle fusion and
membrane trafficking. Ferlin mutations are associated with muscular dystrophy (dysferlin) …

Ferlins are multiple-C2-domain proteins involved in Ca2+-triggered membrane dynamics
within the secretory, endocytic and lysosomal pathways. In bony vertebrates there are six …

The syncytiotrophoblast of the human placenta is an epithelial barrier that interacts with
maternal blood and is a key for the transfer of nutrients and other solutes to the developing …

Abstract Annexin-A5 (AnxA5) is the smallest member of the annexins, a group of soluble
proteins that bind to membranes containing negatively-charged phospholipids, principally …

Mutations in the dysferlin gene result in the development of a range of early adult-onset,
progressive muscular dystrophies, collectively known as the dysferlinopathies. There is …

Cancer cells are often characterized by high proliferation rates, a consequence of increased
mitotic signaling coupled with unchecked cellular growth. We recently demonstrated that …

Myoferlin (MYOF), initially identified in muscle cells, is a member of the Ferlin family involved
in membrane fusion, membrane repair, and membrane trafficking. Dysfunction of this protein …

Ferlin proteins participate in such diverse biological events as vesicle fusion in C. elegans,
fusion of myoblast membranes to form myotubes, Ca2+-sensing during exocytosis in the hair …

The syncytiotrophoblast of the human placenta is a unique epithelia structure with millions of
nuclei sharing a common cytoplasm. The syncytiotrophoblast forms by cell–cell fusion of …
