Abstract p120 catenin is the best studied member of a subfamily of proteins that associate
with the cadherin juxtamembrane domain to suppress cadherin endocytosis. p120 also …

Adherens junctions (AJs) are evolutionarily conserved plasma-membrane structures that
mediate cell–cell adhesions in multicellular organisms. They are organized by several types …

The epithelial adherens junction is an E-cadherin-based complex that controls tissue
integrity and is stabilized at the plasma membrane by p120-catenin (p120, also known as …

The function and structure of the mammalian epithelial cell layer is maintained by distinct
intercellular adhesion complexes including adherens junctions (AJs), tight junctions, and …

p120-catenin is a multidomain intracellular protein, which mediates a number of cellular
functions, including stabilization of cell-cell transmembrane cadherin complexes as well as …

Cadherin-catenin complexes are integral components of the adherens junctions crucial for
cell-cell adhesion and tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation of these complexes is linked to …

Deficits in gastrointestinal (GI) paracellular permeability has been implicated in etiology of
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and E-cadherin, a key component of the epithelial …

Cadherins and catenins are the central cell–cell adhesion molecules in adherens junctions
(AJs). This chapter reviews the knowledge concerning the role of cadherins and catenins in …

Kaiso is a BTB/POZ transcription factor that is ubiquitously expressed in multiple cell types
and functions as a transcriptional repressor and activator. Little is known about Kaiso …

The POZ-ZF transcription factor Kaiso was discovered two decades ago as a binding partner
for p120 ctn. Since its discovery, roles for Kaiso in diverse biological processes (epithelial-to …
