Type of cellular connection that minimizes metabolic flows between adjacent cells.
1
Microvillis and zonula occludens were observed on the surface of the differentiated cells under an electron microscope.
2
Most gap junctions between neurons in mammalian retina contain abundant connexin36, often in association with the scaffolding protein zonula occludens-1.
3
The expression and membrane localization of the tight junction proteins zonula occludens-1 and occludin were decreased in alveolar epithelial cells from HIV-1 transgenic rats.
