摘要
In the past two decades, extensive studies have focused on a group of so-called polarity proteins that play conserved and essential functions in establishing and maintaining cell polarity in epithelial cells. Among them, Crumbs (Crb) is the only trans- membrane polarity protein characterized to date (Tepass et al.,
