“…In epithelial cells, in addition to apicobasal polarity, planar cell polarity (PCP) runs perpendicular to the apicobasal plane within the plane of the epithelium (Butler and Wallingford, 2017;Henderson et al, 2018;Aw and Devenport, 2017). For example, in the oviduct, the axis of the epithelial PCP lies along the longitudinal axis of the oviduct, and the morphological polarities extend over multiple cells, such as the folded structure formed by the epithelial sheet, the elongation of the apical surface of MCCs, and the orientation of multicilia (Shi et al, 2014;Koyama et al, 2016;Koyama et al, 2019). PCP factors are proteins involved in regulating PCP that were initially identified by genetic screens performed in Drosophila melanogaster; many are conserved in vertebrates (Butler and Wallingford, 2017;Devenport 2014;Yang and Mlodzik, 2015;Hale and Strutt, 2015;Boutin et al, 2012;Shi et al, 2013;Shi et al, 2016a).…”
