Description

Transmission electron micrograph of adherens junctions (macula adherens or desmosome)in the proximal tubule of a rat kidney. The junctions with associated tonofilaments are seen at the apposed plasma membranes between two epithelial cells. Image made available by James D. Jamieson and the Department of Cell Biology, Yale University School of Medicine.
