Fig. 2. Molecular control of epithelial organization. (A) Epithelial cells are divided into three domains: apical, lateral and basal. The junctional complexes separate the apical from the lateral domains. (B) Several protein complexes interact to organize the epithelial cell including the apical crumbs complex (purple), the junctional Par complex (red) and the basolateral scribble complex (yellow).
