- Where are intercellular junctions located?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements related to intercellular junctions is false? Cadherins are important cell-cell adhesion proteins. A cadherin-mediated junction involves many cadherin molecules to achieve strong adhesion. The cytoplasmic domain of cadherins interacts with actin or intermediate filament cytoskeleton through adaptor proteins. Because tight junctions seal the membrane of adjacent epithelial cells, transmembrane proteins in the apical portion of the plasma membrane cannot move to the basal lateral domain or vice versa. Proteins can diffuse through an open gap junction.arrow_forwardIdentify the nonpolar, inorganic molecule which can pass freely through the plasma membrane.

A high trans epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) is an indicator of a tight attachment between the epithelium and the basement membrane in which diffusion of solute across the basolateral surface is likely to be low c.)
