and the heterotypic cell–cell adhesion is formed between differentiating germ cells andSertoli cellsin thetestis. In mammalian epithelial cells, cell–cell adhesion is mediated by specialized junctions, notably of tight junctions (TJ),adherens junctions(AJ), anddesmosomes. Specificcell adhesionmolecules...
Unique cell junctions, known as slit diaphragms, which feature nephrin and Neph family proteins in addition to components of adherens, tight, and gap junctions, connect adjacent podocyte foot processes. Single gene disorders affecting the slit diaphragm result in nephrotic syndrome in humans, ...
The vascular endothelium provides a continuous lining to the circulatory system, where individual endothelial cells are joined together by tight and gap junctions. The tight junctions render the layer impermeable to blood cells and macromolecules, while the gap junctions function as a means of communica...
Cell–cell junctions include tight-junctions, adherens junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions, while cell–matrix connections are hemidesmosomes and focal adhesions. The desmosomes and hemidesmosomes are connected to the intermediate filaments, and the adherens junctions and the focal adhesion are in...

Tight junctions(occluding junctions) are diffusion-impermeable barriers that are formed when cells come into contact. Gap junctions(channel-forming junctions) join nearby cells’ cytoplasms, enabling molecules to pass across. Signal-transmitting junctionscan function similarly tosynapsesin thenervous system...

In a complementary role, tight junctions have a barrier function, preventing lateral diffusion of molecules in the extracellular ...
