Abstract:Purpose
Mucus secretion is excessively increased in airway epithelial cells in pathological states. This process is related to the cytoskeleton and the increase in exocytosis sites, but the movement of secreted molecules and how secretion increases remain unclear. In this study, we examined the potential role of myristoylated alanine rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) and the cortical actin-binding protein cortactin in airway mucin secretion. Also we investigated the effect of activated Cdc42-associated kinase … Show more
