Proteomic and bioinformatic analysis of epithelial tight junction reveals an unexpected cluster of synaptic molecules

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Zonula occludens, also known as the tight junction, is a specialized cell-cell interaction characterized by membrane "kisses" between epithelial cells. A cytoplasmic plaque of ~100 nm corresponding to a meshwork of densely...
