Figure 10


Fig. 10. Model for Cad99C function. Cad99C is present on follicle cell microvilli and, through its extracellular cadherin repeats, could establish molecular links to the extracellular matrix, to Cad99C or to a different heterophilic binding partner on a neighboring microvillus, or to a protein located on the oocyte surface. These molecular links could stabilize or promote the assembly of microvilli by providing physical adhesion of the microvilli to a target and/or signaling to the cytoskeleton.
