Integrins Trigger Focal Adhesion Signaling
Description
Integrins trigger focal adhesion signaling at the cell membrane. These membrane receptors sit in the phospholipid bilayer with hydrophobic regions that match the membrane interior. They provide attachment sites for outside signals such as hormones and growth factors. When these effectors bind and become active, integrins can...

Transcript
Des grappes d’intégrines sur la membrane cellulaire peuvent temporairement relier les ligands de la matrice extracellulaire au cytosquelette pour former des complexes d’adhésion focale.
Les adhérences focales peuvent croître et rétrécir, ce qui permet à la cellule de ramper pendant la migration.
Alors que l’adhésion provie...
