Which type of attachment proteins attach cells to extracellular molecules?

A) Ligands
B) Integrins
C) Adherins
D) Cadherins

Integrins

A family of transmembrane receptors that facilitate cell-extracellular matrix adhesion, critical for cellular signaling and regulation of cell cycle, shape, and motility.

Cadherins

A class of type-1 transmembrane proteins that play important roles in cell adhesion, ensuring cells within tissues are bound together, pivotal in maintaining the structure and function of tissues in multicellular organisms.
