Claudin-9 constitutes tight junctions of folliculo-stellate cells in the anterior pituitary gland
Scientific Reports, 2021 The anterior pituitary gland regulates growth, metabolism, and reproduction by secreting hormones. Folliculo-stellate (FS) cells are non-endocrine cells located among hormone-producing cells in the anterior pituitary glands.

Tricellulin constitutes a novel barrier at tricellular contacts of epithelial cells [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2005 For epithelia to function as barriers, the intercellular space must be sealed. Sealing two adjacent cells at bicellular tight junctions (bTJs) is well described with the discovery of the claudins. Yet, there are still barrier weak points at tricellular contacts, where three cells join together. In this study, we identify tricellulin, the first integral

Ectoplasmic specialization: A friend or a foe of spermatogenesis? [PDF]
, 2007 The ectoplasmic specialization (ES) is a testis-specific, actin-based hybrid anchoring and tight junction. It is confined to the interface between Sertoli cells at the blood-testis barrier, known as the basal ES, as well as between Sertoli cells and ...

The tight junction protein claudin-1 influences cranial neural crest cell emigration [PDF]
, 2012 The neural crest is a population of migratory cells that follows specific pathways during development, eventually differentiating to form parts of the face, heart, and peripheral nervous system, the latter of which includes contributions from placodal ...

Tricellulin in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
The FASEB Journal, 2010 The tight junction (TJ) protein tricellulina (TRIC) is predominantly located in tricellular TJs (tTJ), the meeting points of three cells. There it forms a barrier to macromolecules without affecting ion permeability. However, at low TRIC levels the tTJ forms a pathway for macromolecules.

MarvelD3 regulates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway during eye development in Xenopus. [PDF]
, 2016 Ocular morphogenesis requires several signalling pathways controlling the expression of transcription factors and cell-cycle regulators. However, despite a well-known mechanism, the dialogue between those signals and factors remains to be unveiled. Here,

Tricellulin and its role in the epididymal epithelium of the rat.
Biology of reproduction, 2016 Tricellulin is a tight-junction protein present at tricellular tight junctions. It has been suggested that basal cells are implicated in the blood-epididymis barrier. Basal cells express claudins, a component of tight junctions; however, there is no information regarding the potential architecture or regulation of basal cell-principal cell interactions.

Association of tricellulin expression with poor colorectal cancer prognosis and metastasis
Oncology Reports, 2020 Tricellulin is a tight‑junction transmembrane protein that regulates cell‑cell interactions. Altered tricellulin expression could promote tumor cell invasions and metastasis in human cancers. The present study assessed tricellulin expression in colorectal cancer tissues for any association with clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer patients
