Explanation / Answer
Connexin-Forms channels (cytoplasmic connections) between adjacent animal cells.
E-cadherin-Transmembrane adhesive connections between two adjacent animal cells.
Desmocollins-The desmosomal cadherins that probably bind the plasma mambranes of the two cells.
Desmotubule-Tubular structure found in the center of a plasmodesma.
Desmoplakin-Major proteins of the desmosome plaque.
Annulus-Forms channels (cytoplasmic connections) between adjacent plant cells.
alpha-Catenin-Anchors actin microfilaments to the plasma membrane.
Claudins-Binds adjoining cells together, creating fused ridges.
