Fig. 8. Model of how decreased Dsp affects radial intercalation of the epidermis of Xenopus. Dsp (pink) connects with keratins (grey) and is increased during apical expansion. With reduced Dsp, the intercalating cell does not have properly localized keratins or apical accumulation of actin and the apical surface does not expand sufficiently.
