Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The cell junctions are composed of many complex proteins and are responsible for cell-cell interaction. The cell junctions in vertebrates are of three types- anchoring junction, gap junction, and tight junction. The invertebrates have other types of cell junctions like septate junctions.
