What are the cytoskeletal proteins associated with hemidesmosomes?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. Hemidesmosomes are macromolecular complexes that are linked to intermediate filaments composed of keratin.

  2. Hemidesmosomes are macromolecular complexes that are linked to microtubules composed of tubulin.

  3. Hemidesmosomes are macromolecular complexes that are linked to microfilaments composed of actin.

  4. Hemidesmosomes are macromolecular complexes that are linked to both microtubules and microfilament.
