Genetic diseases of junctions.

The Journal of investigative dermatology - 1 Dec 2007

Lai-Cheong Joey E, Arita Ken, McGrath John A

Abstract excerpt

Tight junctions, gap junctions, adherens junctions, and desmosomes represent intricate structural intercellular channels and bridges that are present in several tissues, including epidermis. Clues to the important function of these units in epithelial cell biology have been gleaned from a variety...
