abstract：BACKGROUND INFORMATION:Our previous studies have shown that calreticulin, a Ca2+-binding chaperone located in the endoplasmic reticulum, affects cell-substratum adhesions via the induction of vinculin and N-cadherin. Cells overexpressing calreticulin contain more vinculin than low expressers and make abundant contacts ...
