Fig. 10. Localization of nectins at the apicolateral boundaries of the pigment and
non-pigment epithelia. (A) Localization of nectin 1, nectin 2, nectin 3,
afadin, P-cadherin and ZO-1 at the apicolateral boundaries of the pigment and
non-pigment epithelia. Wild-type (left,) nectin 1/
(middle) and nectin 3/ (right) mice. (B) Localization
of nectin 1 at the apicolateral boundaries of the pigment epithelia, but not
at those of the non-pigment epithelia in nectin 3/
mice. (C) Localization of nectin 3 at the apicolateral boundaries of both the
pigment and non-pigment epithelia in nectin 1/ mice..
PE, pigment epithelia; NPE, non-pigment epithelia; R, retina. Insets show
