What is zonula adherins? |
| Answer» The Adherens junction performs multiple functions including initiation and stabilization of\xa0cell-cell\xa0adhesion,\xa0regulation\xa0of the actin cytoskeleton, intracellular signaling and transcriptional\xa0regulation.\xa0ZO (zonula occludens) proteins are scaffolding proteins providing the structural basis for the assembly of multiprotein complexes at the cytoplasmic surface of intercellular junctions. In addition, they provide a link between the integral membrane proteins and the filamentous cytoskeleton. | |
