The Crumbs complex: from epithelial-cell polarity to retinal degeneration

NA Bulgakova, E Knust - Journal of cell science, 2009 - journals.biologists.com
The evolutionarily conserved Crumbs protein complex is a key regulator of cell polarity and
cell shape in both invertebrates and vertebrates. The important role of this complex in normal …

crumbs encodes an EGF-like protein expressed on apical membranes of Drosophila epithelial cells and required for organization of epithelia

U Tepass, C Theres, E Knust - Cell, 1990 - cell.com
We describe the molecular characterization of the Drosophila gene crumbs, which encodes
an integral membrane protein with 30 EGF-like repeats in the extracellular part and exhibits …
