Desmosome

A simplified 2D cell-junction diagram of a desmosome, shown as a spot-like or button-like anchoring junction between two adjacent animal cells. Two opposing plasma membranes face each other across a narrow intercellular gap. On the inner side of each membrane is a dense plaque or oval plate, and bundles of intermediate filaments extend or radiate inward into the cytoplasm from each plaque. Fine cadherin-like linker proteins bridge the gap between the membranes, giving the junction a rivet-like appearance.
