To further understand the functional role of lasp-2, a focal adhesion protein, a survey identifies two novel binding partners: vinculin and paxillin. The data suggest that lasp-2 has an important role in regulating the composition and dynamics of focal adhesions, as well as significant roles in metastasis, with dual functions in migration and invasion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
