A protocadherin-cadherin-FLRT3 complex controls cell adhesion and morphogenesis.

BACKGROUND:Paraxial protocadherin (PAPC) and fibronectin leucine-rich domain transmembrane protein-3 (FLRT3) are induced by TGFbeta signaling in Xenopus embryos and both regulate morphogenesis by inhibiting C-cadherin mediated cell adhesion. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:We have investigated the functional and...
