Abstract excerpt
Claudins are integral membrane proteins essential in the formation and function of tight junctions (TJs). Disruption of TJs, which have essential roles in cell permeability and polarity, is thought to contribute to epithelial tumorigenesis. Claudin-3 and -4 are frequently overexpressed in ovarian cancer, but the molecular pathways involved in the regulation of these proteins are unclear. Interestingly, several...
