Medical Electron Microscopy, 2003
Tight junctions are intercellular junctions adjacent to the apical end of the lateral membrane surface. They have two functions, the barrier (or gate) function and the fence function. The barrier function of tight junctions regulates the passage of ions, water, and various macromolecules, even of cancer cells, through paracellular spaces.

Tight Junction Channels

2006
Transport across epithelia occurs through both transcellular and paracellular pathways. Transcellular movement of solutes and ions through transporters and channels is energy-dependent, directional, highly selective and regulated. Paracellular transport occurs through tight junctions, which behave like charge- and size-selective channels, but with a ...

Human airway epithelial tight junctions

Microscopy Research and Technique, 1997
The flux of fluid, ions, macromolecules, and inflammatory cells across airway epithelium depends in part upon the integrity of its apico-lateral tight junctions. Without the correct balance of fluid and ions, the normal functioning of mucociliary clearance and the neural responsiveness of the airways cannot take place.
