Two PDZ-domain-containing adapter-like proteins, PAR-3 and PAR-6, and a protein kinase,
atypical protein kinase C (PKC), cooperate together to establish cell polarity in a variety of
biological contexts. These include asymmetric cell division in early Caenorhabditis elegans
embryo and Drosophila neuroblasts, as well as the establishment and maintenance of
apical–basal polarity in Drosophila and mammalian epithelial cells. Recent studies on the
role of this PAR–aPKC complex in epithelial cell polarization provide new insights into the …
