Epitelknop
Epitelknop, also known as epithelial cell junction, is a specialized structure found in the epithelial tissues of animals. These junctions are crucial for maintaining the integrity and function of epithelial barriers, which are essential for protecting underlying tissues from external environments. Epitelknop is composed of various types of cell-cell adhesion molecules, including tight junctions, adherens junctions, and desmosomes, each serving distinct functions.
Tight junctions are the most apical structures and form a continuous seal between adjacent epithelial cells,
Epitelknop plays a vital role in various physiological processes, such as digestion, absorption, and filtration. Dysfunction
