Differential expression of claudin‐2 along the human intestine: Implication of GATA‐4 in the maintenance of claudin‐2 in differentiating cells
27 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Claudins, and particularly claudin-2, are important regulatory components of tight junction permeability. A better understanding of the involvement of claudin-2 in intestinal barrier functions requires the characterization of its distribution and regulation in the intestine. Interestingly, the claudin-2 gene promoter harbors a number of similarities to that of sucrase-isomaltase, a marker of enterocyte...
