ankurliidused, mis moodustavad rakk-rakk ühendusi ning paiknevad põhiliselt kõrvutiasetsevate epiteelirakkude vahel
Good to know
Nad moodustavad raku plasmamembraanis tihedaid valgulisi naaste, millele mõlemalt poolt kinnituvad omavahel ühenduses olevate rakkude intermediaarsed filamendid.
molecular complexes of cell adhesion proteins and linking proteins that attach the cell surface adhesion proteins to intracellular keratin cytoskeletal filaments
Good to know
The cell adhesion proteins of the desmosome, desmoglein and desmocollin, are members of the cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules. Desmosomes help to resist shearing forces and are found in simple and stratified squamous epithelium. The intercellular space is very wide (about 30 nm). Desmosomes are also found in muscle tissue where they bind muscle cells to one another, such as epidermis.
