Adherens junction
text:
In cell biology, adherens junctions are protein complexes that occur at cell–cell junctions and cell–matrix junctions in epithelial and endothelial tissues, usually more basal than tight junctions. An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix. Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst
