Focuses on the importance of tight junction (TJ) in the transport and signaling of protein complexes. Development and maintenance of epithelial polarity; Role of TJ in the formation of plasma membrane (PM); Properties of TJ; Involvement of occludin in the TJ barrier function; Impact of an increase number of protein partners on TJ organization.
