| Primary Identifier | Expr14677 | Subcellular Localization | Functional, endogenously tagged isoforms A-C of a-catenin (HMP-1::GFP; n = 19/19) and b-catenin (GFP::HMP-2; n = 11/11), which associate with E-cadherin, were also expressed in the DTC and germ cells and localized to membrane contact sites. HMP-1::GFP only tags half of the HMP-1 isoforms, which may make it more difficult to see. However, single confocal slices clearly show that it is present in the DTC, muscle, and germline. |
