    Backgrounds

    Claudins, a 27-member family of proteins, play a pivotal role in maintaining tight junction (TJ) seals in epithelial tissue. The C-terminal fragment of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (C-CPE) binds to claudin-4, which is a main component of the TJ in mucosal epithelial cells, and reversibly modulates TJ seals, yielding an..
