Abstract

Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-A is an integral membrane protein at tight junctions of epithelial cells which associates with the cell polarity protein PAR-3. Here, we demonstrate that downregulation of JAM-A impairs the ability of MDCK II cells to form cysts in a threedimensional matrix indicating the requirement of JAM-A for the development of apico-basal polarity. To define the regions of ...
