Annual review of cell biology, 1985•annualreviews.orgThe cytoskeletal apparatus which underlies and supports the apical, brush border (BB)
surface of the intestinal epithelial cell is among the most highly ordered arrays of actin
filaments and associated proteins in nature. In addition, the BB, and subfractions such as
microvilli (MV)(Bretscher & Weber 1978b), can be isolated in quantities sufficient for
biochemical and structural studies. For these reasons the BB has been the subject of
intensive scrutiny over the past decade. There are several reviews on the BB cytoskeleton …
