| Description | This family of proteins includes members that are involved in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, cell cycle regulation, and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Some proteins in this family are essential for the organization of cellular junctions and the maintenance of barrier functions in epithelial tissues. Others have roles in the protection and renewal of epithelial surfaces, as well as in differentiation. Certain family members are implicated in tumor suppression and may influence cancer cell proliferation through interactions with growth factor receptors, leading to cell cycle arrest and modulation of apoptosis. The family also contains proteins that are important for the structural integrity of basement membranes and may participate in cell-matrix signaling pathways. | Name | Epithelial Barrier and Cell Signaling Protein |
