Table 1.

Transmembrane and membrane-associated proteins under NMMII-generated tension.

Protein Tension across Protein NMMII Involvement Cell Type Reference
E-cadherin 1 1–2 pN + MDCK epithelial cells [100]
PECAM-1 in static cells negligible BAECs [63]
PECAM-1 in cells under SS 2.0 pN/molecule Vimentin is involved BAECs [63]
VE-cadherin in static cells 2.4 nN/molecule + BAECs [63]
VE-cadherin in cells under SS 1.8 nN/molecule + BAECs [63]
Vinculin ~2.5 + BAECs [62]
