Abstract:Introduction: Ferlins are a family of proteins that play a variety of roles associated with plasma membrane dynamics in eukaryotes, including plasma membrane repair, regulation of membrane expression of receptors, and endocytosis. Dysferlin was recently reported to regulate platelet endothelial cellular adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) in endothelial cells (1). We have shown that ablation of myoferlin (MYOF) in breast tumor cells attenuates invasion in vitro (in review, J Cell Sci). Moreover, loss of MYOF was fou… Show more
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.
