Claudins are tight junction membrane proteins that are expressed in epithelia and
endothelia and form paracellular barriers and pores that determine tight junction
permeability. This review summarizes our current knowledge of this large protein family and
discusses recent advances in our understanding of their structure and physiological
functions.
