Tight junctions, tight junction proteins and paracellular permeability across the gill epithelium of fishes: A review

Highlights ► Tight junctions (TJs) are found in the gills of all extant classes of fish. ► Fish gill TJ heterogeneity contributes to the maintenance of piscine salt and water balance. ► TJ proteins such as occludin, claudins and ZO-1 are found in the fish gill epithelium. ► Fish gills contain at lea...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Tight junctions (TJs) are found in the gills of all extant classes of fish. ► Fish gill TJ heterogeneity contributes to the maintenance of piscine salt and water balance. ► TJ proteins such as occludin, claudins and ZO-1 are found in the fish gill epithelium. ► Fish gills contain at least 32 claudins. ► TJ proteins alter in association with changes in surrogate gill epithelium permeability.
