We show here that zonula occludens (ZO)-3 acts to sequester cyclin D1 at intercellular tight junctions. This study highlights an important new role for ZO family proteins in regulating epithelial cell proliferation through stabilization of cyclin D1 during mitosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
