Abstract excerpt
Extensive studies have identified a large number of the molecular components of cellular tight junctions (TJ), including the claudins, occludin and ZO-1/2, and also many of the physical interactions between these molecules. However, the regulatory mechanisms of TJ formation are as yet poorly understood. In HaCaT, a human epidermal keratinocyte cell line, TJ were newly formed when cells were cultured in the...
