A desmosome involves a complex of proteins. Some of these proteins extend across the membrane, while others anchor the junction within the cell.

Desmosomes are even stronger connections that join the intermediate filaments of neighboring cells. Hemidesmosomes (light blue) connect intermediate filaments ...

9 апр. 2022 г. · Plasmodesmata are junctions between plant cells, whereas animal cell contacts include tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes.

The second type of junction are called gap junctions and these are the channels that connect adjacent cells together. These channels allow molecules and ions up ...

The junctions come in three classes: gap, tight and desmosomes. Gap junctions are channels between neighboring cells that allow for the transport of ions ...
