Multifunctional strands in tight junctions

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2001
Tight junctions are one mode of cell-cell adhesion in epithelial and endothelial cellular sheets. They act as a primary barrier to the diffusion of solutes through the intercellular space, create a boundary between the apical and the basolateral plasma membrane domains, and recruit various cytoskeletal as well as signalling molecules at their ...

Transmembrane proteins of tight junctions

Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2000
Tight junctions from a morphological and functional boundary between the apical and basolateral cell surface domains of epithelia and endothelia, and regulate selective diffusion along the paracellular space. Two types of four-span transmembrane proteins, occludin and claudins, as well as the single-span protein JAM are associated with tight junctions.

Tight junctions

Current Biology, 1998
ABSTRACT Tight junctions are the most apical intercellular junctions of epithelial and endothelial cells and create a regulatable semipermeable diffusion barrier between individual cells. On a cellular level, they form an intramembrane diffusion fence that restricts the intermixing of apical and basolateral membrane components.
