Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
DEF

A protein that mediates the association of actin filaments with integrins at focal adhesions.

Within each cell, a contractile bundle of actin filaments lies adjacent to the adhesion belt, oriented parallel to the plasma membrane. The actin is attached to this membrane through a set of intracellular anchor proteins, including catenins, vinculin, and a-actinin ...

CONT

La vinculine est un des constituants essentiels des jonctions cellulaires, qu'il s'agisse de jonctions entre cellules (zonulae adherens) ou de jonctions entre cellules et matrice extracellulaire (plaques d'adhérence). Sa liaison à la taline, et donc aux intégrines et à l'actine, lui fait supposer un rôle de lien entre le cytosquelette d'actine et la matrice extracellulaire.
