Question

In what way do tight junctions influence the distribution of membrane proteins in epithelial cells?

Accepted Answer

They restrict membrane proteins to either the apical or basal surface, maintaining cell polarity.

Answer

They allow membrane proteins to freely move between the apical and basal surfaces.

Answer

They facilitate the transport of membrane proteins to the extracellular matrix.

Answer

They degrade membrane proteins that reach the basal surface.
