Abstract excerpt
The C-terminal fragment of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (C-CPE) modulates the barrier function of claudin-4 via its C-terminal 16 amino acids. In the current study, we investigated the roles of tyrosine residues (Y306, Y310 and Y312) in this region in the modulation of TJs by C-CPE. Single...
