The dynamic control of E-cadherin is critical for establishing and maintaining cell-cell junctions in epithelial cells. The concentration of E-cadherin molecules at adherens junctions (AJs) is regulated by lateral movement of E-cadherin within the plasma membrane and endocytosis. Here we set out to study the interplay between these processes and their contribution to E-cadherin dynamics. Using ...

The anti-estrogen, Cl 628, was used to suppress the lordosis response induced by sequential injections of estrogen and progesterone in ovariectomired (OVX) female rats. Appropriate doses of Cl 628 completely abolished sexual receptivity in females administered estradiol benzoate (EB) in sesame oil. This behavioral effect could be attenuated by providing increased quantities of EB or decreased q...
