Which of the following is most closely related to transcellular transport?
A)Cadherins
B)Claudins
C)Peripheral proteins
D)Connexons.
E)Cadherins.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcellular transport refers to the movement of molecules or ions through the interior of a cell, usually via specialized pathways called channels or carriers. Claudins are a type of transmembrane protein that form tight junctions between adjacent cells, regulating paracellular transport and helping to maintain cell polarity. Thus, they are closely related to transcellular transport. The other choices - cadherins, peripheral proteins, and connexons - are all involved in cell adhesion and communication, but not specifically in transcellular transport.
