VASP interaction with vinculin: a recurring theme of interactions with proline-rich motifs.

abstract：:Rats bearing the fast-growing AH-130 Yoshida ascites hepatoma showed a marked cachectic response which has been previously reported [Tessitore et al. (1987) Biochem. J. 241, 153-159]. Thus tumour-bearing animals showed significant decreases in body and muscle weight (soleus and gastrocnemius) as compared to both pair-...
