Chapter 10, Problem 2CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The similarities and differences in the structures and functions of cadherins and integrins proteins found in animal cells.
Introduction:
In a multicellular organism, cells are linked to each other by specialized structures called cell junctions. Three types of junctions found between cells in animals are anchoring junctions, tight junctions, and gap junctions.
