Abstract: Epithelial tight junction is an intercellular junctional complex that is composed of occludin, claudins and ZOs, etc. The tight junction is closely related with gastrointestinal nutrition absorption ,microbial adhesion, the permeability and barrier function of epithelial cell. The molecular structure, biological function and signal regulation of tight junction were reviewed.
