Molecular Structure of Tight Junctions and Their Role in Epithelial Transport

James Melvin Anderson

J. M. Anderson is a Professor of Medicine and Cell Biology at the Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8019.
Tight junctions create a paracellular barrier with physiological properties that differ among epithelia. Among these differences are electrical resistance and discrimination for solute size and charge. Emerging evidence suggests that a large family of transmembrane proteins called the claudins create these variable properties.
