Anchoring Junctions Desmosomes at Jesse Richardson blog

Anchoring Junctions Desmosomes. there are three types of anchoring junctions. hemidesmosomes (hd) are specialized anchoring junctions found in basal epithelial cells connecting them to their underlying basement membrane. They are desmosome s, hemidesmosome s, and adherens junctions. They are crucial in tissues under constant stress, such as the skin, cornea, parts of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, esophagus, amnion, and vagina. adherens junctions (red dots) join the actin filaments of neighboring cells together. A desmosome, also known as a macula adherens, is one of animal cells’ anchoring junctions. Desmosomes use cadherin as their transmembrane linker, providing strong adhesion between adjacent cells and thus acting like spot welds holding the tissues together. Desmosomes are even stronger connections that join the intermediate filaments of neighboring cells.
