There have been approximately 40 proteins identified to be involved in tight junctions.
Glucocorticoids play a complex regulating role in the maintenance of tight junctions.
However, this is only applicable for small molecules, as larger ones will not be able to fit through the pores in the tight junctions.
A tight junction is formed between the parasite and erythrocyte.
The tight junctions on adjacent cells line up so as to produce a seal between different tissues and body cavities.
The cells in the epithelium are connected via tight junctions.
These cells are sealed via tight junctions that prevent flow of Endolymph between them.
These cells maintain contact with each other through tight junctions.
Electron microscope images show that these cells maintain contacts through tight junctions.
Thus, tight junctions join together the cytoskeletons of adjacent cells.
