The correct answer is : b. Hemidesmosomes.
Explanation:
- Hemidesmosomes are responsible for attaching the cells to the extra-cellular matrix.
- They are mostly made up of integrins.
- Integrins are transmembrane proteins which can act as receptor to various ligands like collagen, fibronectin, laminin and help the cells to adhere themselves to the matrix.
- Usually integrins are heterodimeric proteins comprising of alpha and beta subunits.
- Towards the inside of the cell, integrins can bind to microfilaments present in the cytoplasm.
- They also help in transducing signals across the cell membrane.
