Signals can be sent from the ECM to the cell through _______.
A)claudins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integrins are transmembrane receptors that connect the ECM to the cytoskeleton of the cell, allowing for communication between the ECM and the cell's signaling pathways. Claudins, connexins, fibronectins, and cadherins are all involved in cell-cell interactions and do not typically transmit signals from the ECM to the cell.
