Question

How are tight junction formation between epithelial cells?

Answer 1

Tight Junctions. Tight junctionscreate fusion points between epithelial cells, thus forming an intact barrier that maintains the semipermeable properties of these cells. Mature tight junctions are composed of the transmembrane proteins occludin, claudin, and junctional adhesion protein.
