The cytoplasmic domain of the cell adhesion molecule uvomorulin associates with three independent proteins, named catenins, which are structurally related in different cell types of various species. This complex formation connects uvomorulin and cytoskeletal structures and might, moreover, be involved in other adhesion-dependent mechanisms.
细胞黏附分子埃-钙黏蛋白的胞质结构域与三种独立的蛋白质相关联,这些蛋白质被称为连环蛋白,它们在不同物种的不同细胞类型中结构相关。这种复合物的形成将埃-钙黏蛋白与细胞骨架结构连接起来,此外,可能还参与其他依赖黏附的机制。
