Differential expression pattern of CEACAM1 isoforms in polarized epithelial cells : it's regulation and some functional consequences
(2004-01-16)
dominated.
We found that tyr515 has a crucial role for the lateral localization of
CEACAM1-L and that the lysine residues 519-521 as well as ser503 also are
important for the steady-state lateral localization. We also demonstrated
that both pervanadate...
