basic FUNCTION
| first integral membrane protein that is concentrated at the vertically oriented tight junction strands of tricellular contacts |
|
having a critical function for formation of the epithelial barrier |
|
tight-junction (TJ) protein that contributes to the structure and function of tricellular contacts of neighboring cells in many epithelial tissues |
|
tricellular tight-junction (tTJ) protein, which is key in the formation of barriers between tricellular contacts of epithelial cells throughout the body |
|
first marker of the tricellular tight junction, which forms at the meeting points of three cells, and it is required for the maintenance of the transepithelial barrier |
|
MARVELD3, OCLN, and MARVELD2 are best considered as a group with both redundant and unique contributions to epithelial function and tight junction regulation |
|
may be a component to maintain the integrity for peripheral nervous system myelin function and morphology |
|
first molecular component of tTJs shown to be involved in their formation and in epithelial barrier function |
