Question
Indicate the role each protein plays in the junction.
Please select a phrase from the bank at the bottom and match it with the correct protein listed:
Connexin
E-cadherin
Desmocollins
Desmotubule
Desmoplakin
Annulus
alpha-Catenin
Claudins
Phrase Bank: The desmosomal cadherins that probably bind the plasma membranes of the two cells, transmembrane adhesive connections between two adjacent animal cells, binds adjoining cells together or creating fused ridges, forms channels (cytoplamic connections) between adjacent animal cells, anchors actin microfilaments to the plasma membrane, tubular structures found in the center of a plasmodesma, forms channel (cytoplasmic connections) between adjacent animal cells, major proteins of the desmosome plaque
