PKC and PKA Phosphorylation Affect the Subcellular Localization of Claudin-1 in Melanoma Cells

<p>Cytoplasmic expression of claudin-1 in metastatic melanoma cells correlates to increased migration, and increased secretion of MMP-2 in a PKC dependent manner, whereas claudin-1 nuclear expression is found in benign nevi. Melanoma cells were transfected with a vector expressing CLDN-1 fused...
