(ECM) proteins is often limited to discrete regions of the ventral plasma membrane. These structures known as focal adhesions or focal contacts are composed of a complex of Vinculin is a highly conserved 116 kDa protein containing 1066 amino acids in chickens and humans (Weller et al., 1990). Rotary shadowing and electron microscopy reveals a two localise to focal adhesions, specialised regions of the cell cDNAs encoding chick vinculin residues 398-1066 and 398
