What are Some Examples of Protein Complexes in Tissues?
Several protein complexes are critical in different tissues. For instance:
- In muscle tissues, the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex connects the cytoskeleton of a muscle fiber to the surrounding extracellular matrix, providing structural stability. - In neural tissues, the synaptic vesicle complexes are essential for neurotransmitter release at synapses. - In the extracellular matrix, collagen complexes provide tensile strength to connective tissues.
