Key Points
Tight junctions are intercellular adhesion complexes in epithelia and endothelia that control paracellular permeability. This paracellular diffusion barrier is semipermeable: it is size- and charge-selective.
Paracellular ion permeability at tight junctions is largely determined by their claudin composition. Claudins are a family o...
