Abstract excerpt
Occludin is a protein component of the membrane domain of tight junctions, and has been shown to be phosphorylated in vivo in cultured cells and Xenopus laevis embryos. However, nothing is known about the identity of specific occludin kinase(s) and occludin phosphorylation site(s). Furthermore, nothing is known about the interaction of occludin with cingulin, a cytoplasmic plaque component of tight junctions....
