CD151 regulates epithelial cell–cell adhesion through PKC- and Cdc42-dependent actin cytoskeletal reorganization

CD151, a member of the tetraspanin family proteins, tightly associates with integrin α3β1 and localizes at basolateral surfaces of epithelial cells. We found that overexpression of CD151 in A431 cells accelerated intercellular adhesion, whereas treatment of cells with anti-CD151 mAb perturbed the in...
