Genome Biology, 2009 The claudin multigene family encodes tetraspan membrane proteins that are crucial structural and functional components of tight junctions, which have important roles in regulating paracellular permeability and maintaining cell polarity in epithelial and endothelial cell sheets.

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1999 Tight junctions (TJs) in endothelial cells are thought to determine vascular permeability. Recently, claudin-1 to -15 were identified as major components of TJ strands. Among these, claudin-5 (also called transmembrane protein deleted in velo-cardio-facial syndrome [TMVCF]) was expressed ubiquitously, even in organs lacking epithelial tissues ...

Tight Junction Proteins and Signaling Pathways in Cancer and Inflammation: A Functional Crosstalk
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 The ability of epithelial cells to organize through cell–cell adhesion into a functioning epithelium serves the purpose of a tight epithelial protective barrier. Contacts between adjacent cells are made up of tight junctions (TJ), adherens junctions (AJ),

Quercetin improves and protects Calu-3 airway epithelial barrier function
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Introduction: In light of the impact of airway barrier leaks in COVID-19 and the significance of vitamin D in COVID-19 outcomes, including airway barrier protection, we investigated whether the very common dietary flavonoid quercetin could also be ...

Familial hypomagnesaemia, Hypercalciuria and Nephrocalcinosis associated with a novel mutation of the highly conserved leucine residue 116 of Claudin 16 in a Chinese patient with a delayed diagnosis: A case report [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Sixty mutations of claudin 16 coding gene have been reported in familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) patients. Recent investigations revealed that a highly conserved glycine-leucine-tryptophan (115G-L-W117)

The Src-Family Kinases SRC and BLK Contribute to the CLDN6-Adhesion Signaling
Cells, 2023 Cell adhesion molecules, including integrins, cadherins, and claudins (CLDNs), are known to activate Src-family kinases (SFKs) that organize a variety of physiological and pathological processes; however, the underlying molecular basis remains unclear ...

The food contaminant deoxynivalenol, decreases intestinal barrier permeability and reduces claudin expression [PDF]
, 2009 The gastrointestinal tract represents the first barrier against food contaminants as well as the first target for these toxicants. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that commonly contaminates cereals and causes various toxicological effects.

Intestinal fluid absorption in anadromous salmonids: importance of tight junctions and aquaporins
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 The anadromous salmonid life cycle includes both fresh water (FW) and seawater (SW) stages. The parr-smolt transformation (smoltification) pre–adapt the fish to SW while still in FW.
